Brian grew up in a small town in South Georgia and fell in love with tennis when he was 7 years old. As a junior, he traveled around the country and competed nationally, finishing his career as one of the top ranked players in the state of Georgia.

If he's not on the tennis court, he's probably out on the golf course!
