HC: What do you like about sailing?

Brian: Specifically at Fairfield, the group of kids on the team. And in general, I could go on about this quote by JFK in the America’s cup:

​“I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it’s because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it’s because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea – whether it is to sail or to watch it – we are going back from whence we came.”

It’s just kind of part of me at this point.

HC: RT.

HC: What is your go to song to play?

Brian: Make a Mess by Matt and Kim.

HC: Why do you want to be an astronaut?

Brian: I want to be an astronaut because there’s this really cool phenomenon called earth effect. Whenever you go to space and you look down at the little pale blue dot you have this full understanding of humanity. It’ll give you a really cool perspective, really kind of something awesome and cool to think about.

HC: What’s your favorite part of Fairfield?

Brian: Honestly, the great diversity of students on campus. You can really find a lot of different groups of people, and that’s really cool.

Thanks so much again Brian!
