HISTORY

Brian is an only child, born after his parents had given up hoping for a family. As they were older, they tended to encourage him in sitting and reading more than in the sports field, which suited him fine as, on major motor skills he was, frankly, a klutz. Fine motor skills were, however, another matter. By the age of 7, he was learning piano and violin and taking various pieces of equipment apart and (mostly) putting them back together again. As he grew older, he took up more instruments and became more proficient at reassembling objects. Gradually, the love of the latter overtook his musical aspirations, although he still plays for fun occasionally. His innate geekdom resulted in some bullying by neighbourhood children in his early years. In Starfleet Academy, however, he blossomed; finding like-minded friends and avoiding the overly sporty-types who reminded him too much of those early bullies.
