Brian has served for over 9 years as a Saxophone Player in the US Army.  He challenged himself from day 1 of Basic Training to be the very best.  Brian quickly rose to the top of the Army Band field by earning the “C1” certification recognizing him as the best of the best of military musicians.  The burning desire didn’t end there.  Brian volunteered to serve in the famous 82D Airborne Division for 4 years.  During his tour with the 82D, he was quickly promoted to Sergeant in less than two years.  His next challenge was to become a Jumpmaster…one of the hardest schools in the US Military.  After many hours of relentless practice and studying, Brian earned the coveted title of Jumpmaster and has performed duties on several Airborne Operations.  He also served with the 82D in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 and with the Army Ground Forces Command in Atlanta, GA.  His military awards include The Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Senior Parachutist Badge, German Parachutist Badge as well as various other awards and decorations.
