Brian began his adult life by joining the U. S. Army Military Police after high school. He served his country all over the world and was disabled due to injuries sustained during service. He then went on to obtain a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and started working as a psychotherapist with other combat veterans in the Department of Veterans Affairs. Brian has also worked as a program director and clinical supervisor with criminal offenders, and after joining a private company working with recently released offenders, he suffered a major heart failure. This was just the beginning of what his life would be like for the next couple of years.
