Brian was born and raised in Pierre, South Dakota and graduated from T.F. Riggs High School in 2005. He then attended South Dakota State University for undergraduate training. From there he earned his doctor of dental surgery degree in June of 2013 from the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. He elected to further his training by completing a one year general practice residency at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. While in Utah he discovered his true passion for endodontics and decided to persue specialty training. In July of 2014, he returned home to Pierre for one year of practice as a dentist. He then enrolled at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Misourri for a two year program to earn his certificate in endodontics and master's of science in dentistry.
He enjoys spending time in the outdoors and there is no better place than Pierre as it has no shortage of outdoor recreation. Much of his time is spent with family, but he also enjoys hunting and fishing, and going on runs along the river with his chocolate lab Cinder. You can usually find him watching and playing hockey in the winter and watching Iowa football in the fall.
