Brian was a 1999 graduate of Coldwater High School and attended Rhoades State College. He was a member of Celina I.C. Church. Brian was employed by Coldwater Lumber Company as a Computer Aided Draftsman finally settling into his dream job of helping customers create their dream homes. He was becoming a serious Celina Bulldogs fan as his children progressed through the ranks, coaching every one of them in soccer, baseball, and softball. He created many friendships out on the field becoming a respected coach. Brian was often seen showing people up out on the golf course in outings and golf cart driving skills. He loved to spend time with friends and family, recently becoming frequent campers to relax in the outdoors. But nothing could top his love of football, watching the Buckeyes play on Saturday and the Chicago Bears on Sunday, always believing they were going to pull out the big one.
