Meet Brian

This is Brian.

Brian hopes to build some friendships on this next trip to Africa. And one thing he hopes to do while he's there is to reconnect with some of the people he met on his last trip to Zambia.

Not everyone knows this, but Brian likes to go into small community hardware stores when he travels. If given $1,000 to blow in any one shop in the mall Brian would head straight for Sears Hardware Centre.

When he was a kid he wanted to play pro hockey. Now, if he could do another profession he'd try general contracting.

In the kitchen, Brian is known for being absent. When Brian flies in a plane, he thinks most about sleeping.

A CD Brian could listen to on repeat indefinitely would be U2, The Best Of 1980-1990.

Brian can thank his wife, Lisa, for teaching him to slow down and relax.

His ideal vacation would involve a tropical island with miles of private beaches, golf, water activities, some night life and good food and drinks- lots of sun and sand.

If he could trade places with anyone for one month Brian would choose Ty Pennington from Extreme Makeover Home Addition because it would be an amazing opportunity to change the lives of people forever and do something he would truly enjoy doing.
