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.
[edit] 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.
[edit] 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.
