Brian’s military service began in the US Army as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne. He briefly left active duty to attend the University of Alabama. After 9/11 he returned to service and became an Air Force special operations pilot.
After 8 combat deployments, Brian found himself rehabbing from a service-related injury. He began woodworking, devoted to building handcrafted custom pieces of pure Americana. After donating several handmade wooden American flags to the families of fallen soldiers, he realized there was more work to do.
