Brian lives in Fort Lauderdale and currently rides a BMW 1200GS. He has completed the Mid-Atlantic BDR on his Kawasaki KLR 650. Additionally, he and Aaron have completed the Washington BDR on two KLRs. Brian also joined Aaron and me on one of Aaron’s curated, private tours in Colorado in October 2023, where we all rode GSs.

He is signed up for the October  2025 ADV Cannonball on his GS. Just last fall, Brian completed the Idaho BDR on his GS. During that ride, Aaron, on his 1250GSA, met up with Brian's group about halfway through the IDBDR. Afterward, Brian and Aaron rode up into Canada for a few days before concluding their trip at the ADV Cannonball headquarters in Port Angeles, WA.
