He joined the United States Air Force in 1968, after tech school at Sheppard AFB he was stationed to Laredo, Texas and then to Reese AFB in Lubbock which then lead his journey to Clark AFB in the Philippines where he met and fell in love with his bride. After a year of marriage he was over joyed to have his son, Brian Jr. His travels continued to lead him to Del Rio, Texas where his daughter was born and joined their little family. A year later the family traveled to Tampa, Florida; while basking in the Florida sun, the family lived there until he retired from the military.

While living under retirement, he was able to enjoy time with his beautiful wife, visit his son during his multiple endeavors, and watch his daughter get married.
