My name is Brian. I live in the small town of Corcoran, Minnesota. I have been a member of Wikipedia for a few months now. It is always my first choice to find pertinent information ona subject. I enjoy adding my extensive knowledge in key categories to the site as well.

If you find anything that I submitted that needs to be updated/corrected/etc, please feel free to do so.

Partial Biography
I was born in La Crosse, Wisconsin, but only lived in La Crosse for the first two years of my life. I then moved to Maple Grove, Minnesota and lived there for numerous years. I now live in the town straight to the west of Maple Grove, called Corcoran, Minnesota. Corcoran is a fantastic community that is only a short 10 minute drive to the rapidly growing Maple Grove and only 20 minutes from the bustling metropolis of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Yet Corcoran has a country-like feel to it with only a small portion developed like the surrounding towns and cities.

Brian now attends the University of Rhode Island, in which he doesn't really like.

Interests and Hobbies
The main obsession in my life is University of Wisconsin men's basketball. Being initially from Wisconsin, I have fallen in love with the sports teams in Madison, Wisconsin. I follow very intently the Wisconsin Badgers led by head coach Bo Ryan. I am a lesser fan of Barry Alvarez's Badger football team, but still a fan.

I am also very much a film connoisseur. I annually track the best films of the year, handing out what I call "the Brian Awards" which consist of all the categories of the Academy Awards, but with my own opinions. Here are the "Brian Award"-winning Best Picture back to 1969.
