What's up everyone!!!!
My name is Brian and I am from Sandwich MA. Born and raised on good 'ol Cape Cod. I think it's weird writing about myself…so I'll make everything short and sweet and give you the highlights. When I was 18 I moved to Boston on my own for a year to explore the city life. I lived 100 ft. from Fenway Pahk!!! It was insane!! Living and loving the Red Sox life all day everyday!!! I Love that city. While living there I started to volunteer once a week at Boston Children’s Hospital giving free haircuts to the patients, as I am a barber. I LOVED going there and helping those kids!! I was a patient at Children’s Hospital when I was younger and it was my way to give back. I have also done the NSTAR Walk for Boston Children’s Hospital for the past 3 consecutive years and have risen over $3,500 for the hospital. 
My next adventure was my first Habitat for Humanity trip when I was 20 to Lilongwe Malawi, Africa. The trip was 2 weeks long and changed my life!! The people were amazing, Malawi is amazing, the host family was amazing, and the life lessons I learned from it were indescribable!! That trip was perfect!! I spent 2 weeks building a house with 12 people from around the country and Canada, for a well deserving family who were living in a non suitable house and who have applied and had been approved to receive a new house. It was an amazing adventure!!! First time to Africa, first time traveling on my own, I was a big boy now!!! Here are my team mates and the family…
Shortly after returning home to the states I was offered a job at the hotel that we as a team stayed at while we were building our Habitat house!!! It was such an amazing opportunity I couldn't pass it up!!! So I packed my things and I MOVED TO AFRICA!!! lol A bit spontaneous and crazy, but that's ME!!! So I started my new life as a manager of a backpacker’s hotel in Malawi Africa!!! The time I spent there was crazy/amazing/hectic/happy/sad everything!! I met so many amazing people from around the world that are some of the best people I have ever met!! Most of them were volunteers working on many projects around the area that I loved to go and visit every once in a while to see what they were doing. It was so amazing to see the amazing things these people were doing while they were there. I fell in LOVE with everything about that country!! I love the locals, the weather, scenery, lake, trees, bugs, animals EVERYTHING!!! My heart is and always will be in Malawi 🙂
…..And that was all before I accepted Jesus…
While I was in Malawi I came across a group of American Christian missionaries….wonder who that could be…yes, The World Race P squad!!! They came to stay at my hotel for 6 month debrief. I got to know most of them very well and formed very good friendships with them. I had never been religious, but I was open to hear what they had to say. Turns out, I was listening pretty good!!! And my life changed for ever a few weeks later!! God came into my life and I accepted him with open arms!! I’ll get into all the details in another post, but I have been so happy ever since and want more people to feel what I feel. Here is just some ofthe sqaud that changed my life…
Since leaving Malawi, I traveled to Thailand where I participated in my second Habitat for Humanity trip in Chaing Mai. This trip was completely different from my first in Malawi, but was so amazing and I loved every second of it!! Here is my team and the house we built…
After spending a month in Thailand I traveled to Sydney Australia to visit a friend and travel for a bit. After traveling the world for 9 months it was time to go home. And that’s where I am now, home sweet home, back to work and trying to spread Gods love to my friends and family.
