Brian is a Certified Personal Trainer through the NSCA, a Level-1 Weightlifting Coach with USAW, has a degree in Health and Fitness from Spokane Community College, and has been officially in the fitness industry since 2011, though, his interest in health and human movement started as a kid carrying stones, flipping tires, and throwing hay bales on his families farm in eastern Washington.
