Brian started his landscape career when he was in middle school while helping his neighbors with yard work and miscellaneous landscape projects. He soon became notorious among the neighborhood and became the go-to guy for anything from cutting grass to designing new plant beds.

 

Brian received an Associates Degree in Landscape, Horticulture, Greenhouse and Urban Forestry from Hennepin Tech. Shortly after earning his degree, he started working at a landscape company where he was a senior foreman for 10 years. 

 

He then went on to work as an apprentice for an electric company for 3 years before he and Josh started Minnesota Patio Guys.

 

Brian and his wife are always outdoors. They love camping, hiking fishing and spending time with family and friends at the cabin.
