A former Tulsan, I’ve called Colorado Springs home since 2007. I love hiking 14ers, but am no technical climber. Hobbies include hiking, camping, vegetable gardening, and writing. Sadly, I used to include tennis on that list, but I discovered pickleball is kinder on my knees.
Birthday: September 11
Birthplace: Tulsa, OK
Current Residence: Colorado Springs, CO
College: Oklahoma State
High School: Holland Hall
Relationship Status: Married to an amazing woman!
Political Views: Fiscally Conservative, Socially Responsible, Frustrated with All Politicians.
Religious Views: I find wisdom in many, but follow only Jesus.

Movies that Make Me Cry (every time):
- It’s a Wonderful Life (one day, sooner or later, God will show us whose lives we’ve touched in a positive way)
- Gladiator (a man’s man, dying for the right cause)
- Paddington 1 & 2 (seriously, you need to watch these movies)
- Babe (a farmer sticks to his guns, when everyone else thinks he’s crazy)
- Elf (no one believed him, until . . . )
- Homeward Bound (I used to love showing this on overnight bus trips to unsuspecting teens . . . I would flip the interior lights on at the crucial moment when the toughest kids were wiping their eyes)

Favorite Quote: “There are two ways to get enough: One is to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.” – G.K. Chesterton
I’m stalking you…. you had your favorite movie in FB as The Mission (which is a great movie) and it’s not here…. just wondering how favorite it really is 🙂
Good catch, Ms. Stalker. I’ve added not only The Mission, but Elf, too!
Brian, I was heading to Tulsa today for a deal at the Philbrook museum and i thought of you. I googled your name and found this site. It looks like you are doing well and serving the Lord. I will pray for your ministry. Hope all is well. Steve Hanebaum
hey Brian,
What a blessing to look at your pics that you have posted here. You make me sick however – you look too young for a 50 year old man! Glad to see you are doing well. Hope we can catch up sometime.
Hope your family is doing well.
