Brian grew up as an oil brat all over the world, graduating from high school in Kuwait. He graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2005, and found a job in New Mexico.  He currently works for the Department of Energy in Los Alamos, NM.  Brian's Toyota addiction started in 2000 when his parents bought him a 1992 Toyota 4Runner SR5.  It was all downhill from there... lift, tires, locker, it was a crash course in off road technology and how to save money by doing his own repairs.  After 6 years, it was time for an upgrade and he went with a Supercharged 1998 4Runner- double the power, double the fun!  Brian's wife know's she's really the second girlfriend in the relationship, second only to his mechanical addiction.
