The majority of his early years were spent lobster fishing with his father, brother and uncles. Those years taught him the value of hard work, determination and loyalty. Brian has always been a believer in education and has a passion for learning. His true passion has always been to help people and this naturally led him to explore his options in the healthcare field.
