He was a junior high wrestling coach, as well as a high school track and field coach for Hempfield School District.

Brian golfed frequently and operated a part-time painting business in his early years.  In his presence, no Rubik's Cube or puzzle ever went unsolved.  He enjoyed walking and hiking with his family and friends, especially at Long's Park, the Good Drive Trails, and while vacationing.  Brian always looked forward to traveling to visit his children and grandchildren.  One of his greatest joys in life was having his grandchildren crawl onto his lap to spend time with their beloved PopPop.
