TKPC AMA #36 - VBVTUSCG

Hey guys, hoping to break up the monotony of the off-season. I'm Brian.

- Graduated 2014
- grew up in Virginia Beach - navy brat
- changed major after freshman year into Communication - Multimedia Journalism. Absolutely loved it and worked in the field for a year at an ABC affiliate in Hampton Roads, but could tell (even back then) the news/journalism was not going to be as thrilling or rewarding as I'd hoped, or provide promotion ability or financial security without really lucky breaks.
- once interviewed Andy Bitter as a dumb college kid. He was awesome! I feel bad that I made him drive from Roanoke to Blacksburg in retrospect.
- found my way and applied all year to the Coast Guard. Commissioned in 2015 as an officer thanks to Corps of Cadets time.
- have lived in Seattle, DC, Newport RI and Maine.
- have been to the North Pole, broken ice on the Hudson and Maine rivers, chased buoys all over New England, and did a counter-drug patrol in the Pacific off of Mexico/Costa Rica/Panama.
- outside of VT, enjoy F1, Premier League, NHL and follow the Tour de France in the summer. I'll watch playoff NFL, MLB, NBA but have no rooting interests.
- hobbies are hard with kids (2 under 4). I try to read a book every month for fun, not work/school related.
- I would not have the success in my career or at home without the support of my wife! Hoping to restore some work life balance after so many afloat experiences.

I'm sure I've overlooked other easy details to discuss. If you have questions on that or the Coast Guard, fire away!

Maroon helmet with orange gobbler logo is the best helmet.....change my mind.

If you're wondering just what the hell I'm saying in this comment, feel free to assume there's an invisible /s.
