Brian, who introduced you to strongman?
- I really introduced myself to strongman. I decided to try it out after I got done with college and I pretty much had to learn on my own until I started meeting other competitors at contests.
What's your best event?
- I am very well rounded so I would like to think that every event is my best event... but if you made me choose one I would say the Atlas Stones
And what's your worst event?
- I don't really have a worst event.
What was your reaction when Svend Karlsen invited you to compete in Viking Power Challenge?
- I was excited to get the invite to VPC. I have heard great things about this contest and I am excited to be a part of it!
Have you ever been in Norway?
- No, I haven't.
What do you hope Norway will be like?
- I have heard it is very beautiful so I am hoping it turns out to be just that. And so far it has! I expected trees and mountains, ofcourse, but the trip up here today was really great!
Who will be your worst competitor in VPC?
- There is a very solid line up of competitors in this years VPC... It's very hard to pick just one.
Who will win VPC?
- I would have to pick myself as the winner.
What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?
- I need to get started packing!
What do you eat during a day?
- I eat around 10,000 calories over the day.
Have you been active in other sports before?
- I played basketball in high school and college.
What makes you happy?
- Winning makes me happy.
What pisses you off?
- And not winning does tend to piss me off.
When do you win World Strongest Man?
- I am hoping this is my year!
