Hello, I'm Brian, a 39 year old, native California born in 1968. I'm 5'8", you can see my hair color, and I have bluish eyes. I came out when I was 26 years old. I was raised in Southern California, a town called Ontario. I lived there until i was nine years old, I saw Star Wars in that city. Then I moved with my parents to Oregon. We lived there for 6 years in Beverton, OR, a subburb of Portland. My dad was a roofer, but when the economy bottomed out, he moved back to California, in the centeral valley to a city named Visalia, while my mother and I still lived in Oregon. The distance started to take its toll on the marraige, and we moved down to my dad. After a year in Visalia, we moved to a town 20 miles north of Fresno, called Madera, which is the geographical center of California, and the county of Madera is very simular in shape to the state itself. I lived there for 13 years. Andn it was in Madera that I came out. I got involved with the bears in 1995-96. And in 1997, I competed in the Mr. Golden State Bear contest, held by the Golden State Bears club in Fresno, Ca. And in February 1998, I represented the GSB's at International Bear Rendezvous (IBR), in San Francisco, CA. Although I didn't win, I had a great time. And in August of 1998 I handed my sash over to my successor, Don, who was made Mr. Golden State Bear 1998-99 on August 17th, 1998.

CONGRADULATIONS DON!!!

I also want to say a big thank you to all my friends who supported me (THANKS GSB's & Sacramento Valley Bears), and to all the great people I met at IBR '98.

And a special thank you to Mark. I met Mark at the weekend of August 16th, 1997. We started to chat, then in December of 1997 things turned serious, and we started dating. On Feb. 14, 1998 I proposed. And he said YES! I moved up to live with him in Sacramento, CA. USA, in April of 1998.

I YOU And we have been happily coupled ever since.

Here we are at the Dore Ally weekend in '99. This picture was taken by our friend Lynn Ludwig. A good friend and a great photographer.

In August 2002, I was asked back to the Golden State Bears, to be a judge for their Bear Frenzy VIII. I can't put into words, how much fun I had. It was great to see all the old bears I knew, and to meet some new ones! It was a wonderful experience, and I cannot thank Kirk enough for persistantly asking me do come back and judge. You guys are a great group of MEN. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! They also, retired the sash, and now give a medal to the winning bear. Thanks to Bill and John for making the sash (I was the first bear to wear it). May you guys all have continued sucess as a club, friends and couples.
