Brian began his career as a wheelchair rugby player. He was a member of the national team and represented his country at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics when wheelchair rugby made its debut as a demonstration sport. The team won silver.
After leaving wheelchair rugby, Brian had another distinguished career as a wheelchair tennis player. In 2003, he represented Canada in the World Team Cup in New Zealand and contributed to the team's 5th place finish. He then competed in the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games in tennis and was a semi-finalist in quad doubles. In 2005, he was ranked 8th in quad singles and 4th in quad doubles.
