Brian is a Trauma/Critical Care PA-C, Paramedic and Navy Corpsman with more than three decades of experience delivering emergency, trauma, and critical care in high-acuity hospital settings and austere remote environments, including Level 1 trauma centers, Africa, Central America, the South Pacific Islands, and North Slope oil exploration sites.

As the owner and lead craftsman of Locust Grove Woodcraft, a custom furniture shop specializing in heirloom pieces crafted from wood, metal, and epoxy, he brings the same precision and problem-solving mindset from the trauma bay into the workshop, bridging clinical expertise with hands-on making to design practical medical solutions for the maker community.

Passionate about giving back to his community Brian has build an emerging non-profit, VetSheds of Idaho, a place where veterans and first responders can go to work with their hands--woodworking, metalwork, repair and other crafts-- in a judgement-free space led by veterans. Fighting isolation through comaraderie.
