I first met Brian back in 2006 at one of the Free Agent clinics I was running at the time with Cristian Becerine. We stayed in touch on and off over the years, and I’d also see him at races from time to time. So it was great to finally reconnect properly when Brian and his son made the drive from Arizona to San Diego on Friday. We linked up with one of his team riders, Scott Felt, hung out, and recorded a couple of episodes together.
In this episode, we get into Brian’s story, starting with growing up in Florida and racing BMX in the 1980s. From there, Brian talks about his career in the Marine Corps, moving around for work, and continuing to race BMX wherever life took him when he could.
We then bring it up to the present, where Brian shares how he became Team Manager of the BioLab team at the end of 2023. He gives insight into what the team is all about, the vision behind it, and some of the riders on the roster, including Pistol Pete Loncarevich and Andy Contes, and lots more.
Thanks for driving over, Brian. It was cool catching up.
