After a lifetime of occasional light adventures, Brian began kayaking in earnest in 2018 after being challenged to a kayak race by a family member. Brian is a two time MR340 finisher including a grueling 46 hour attempt that claimed third in tandem in 2020. Brian paddled the Yukon 1000 in 2022 in 6 days 12 hours, claiming fifth overall and third in kayak. Although the water calls, so too do other duties. Dad, husband, and only occasionally a kayaker.
