Brian Brakebill

My name is Brian Brakebill and I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee. I am currently attending Colorado State University in Fort Collins and am working on a degree in Natural Resources Recreation and Tourism with a focus in Natural Resource Tourism. I transferred to Colorado State in 2008 after completing my first two years of college in East Tennessee. Some of my favorite hobbies include skiing, hiking, music, movies, ultimate frisbee, and watching just about any sport. I do my best to be outside as much as possible. Growing up I was very active in Boy Scouts, completing my Eagle Scout rank and participating in a wide range of outdoor activities. In the summer of 2007 I participated in a NOLS course where I was able to backpack around Northern Washington for almost month before having the first of my 2 knee surgeries that year. After my surgeries I was able to make my way out to Colorado where I picked 2 new loves in life: skiing and ultimate frisbee. My one major goal in life is to become a park ranger in Smokey Mountain National Park where I first learned to enjoy all the things the outdoors has to offer.
