Curiously, Brian's fate as co-founder of Local Motion came about not by way of an interest in bicycling directly. It was his love of boating and his passion for developing public access that inspired him to reconnect pieces of the abandoned and forgotten Island Line. This year the Bike Ferry, in its 10th year of operation, will log its 100,000th boarding.

Brian lives near the causeway in Colchester with his wife and two children. He is the Executive Director of the Colchester Land Trust and an aspiring member of the Adirondack 46ers. Skiing, hiking, sailing, nordic skating, vintage cars and boats, alternative energy, history, and inventing, are a few of his interests.
