After two years of service in the British Army, he embarked on an accounting career, which eventually led to a senior financial position in Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1977, having achieved his career ambition, he emigrated for the second time to the 'Blue Sky Country' - Alberta, Canada - with his wife and three daughters, seeking new challenges.
It was June 1998 when he became paralyzed by a catastrophic life-threatening illness, Guillain-Barré Syndrome. At the time of his frightening encounter with that disease, Brian was a healthy 'young' sixty-nine year old International Sales Manager. He was an enthusiastic golfer, even if, in his own words, not particularly good.
His book, A Dream Impossible, is a collection of short stories, describing some of the dreams he experienced during his seven-month stay in Intensive Care, some moving, some frightening, but most really hilarious.view less
