In June 2011, Brian was employed by Covington County Hospital working at Family Care Express. In addition to his full-time clinic position in the clinic setting, he was also responsible for sick call rounds at Veterans Nursing Home in Collins, MS.

Brian’s love for medicine started while he was young. He grew up in West Terre Haute, Indiana. His father was a Pentecostal preacher and hauled trash to provide for his wife, a fulltime mother, responsible for the care of their 15 children. Brian was “Lucky 13” of this huge family with seven brothers and seven sisters. He and his family spent many hours ministering to the elderly at the local nursing homes. He loved the feeling of helping people.
