Mr. Brian Burke

Mr. Brian Burke was born in Colorado and grew up in Wyoming.  It was here that he developed his love of the outdoors and adventure. These years of adventure, the Boy Scouts and lots of travel with his family, helped him develop his love of travel and learning about new cultures which he shares with his wife Jenny and son Alec.  

Brian loves hockey, and gardening.  He played rugby in college and in the national collegiate championships. Until injuries started adding up he enjoyed teaching and playing Kendo.  Brian worked at a mine as a diesel mechanic and welder before he returned to college.
