Along with my husband, Ryan D, I too had the pleasure of working with Brian at Prairie Meadows. Brian always brought his sense of humor to work and had us laughing all the time. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

I had the pleasure to work with Brian at Prairie Meadows. During that time, his Chiefs were performing better than my Dolphins and he never let me forget that. In fact, my car would sometimes be decorated with Chiefs signs! The fantasy football has lost one of the worlds best smack talker! RIP
