Brian Colombana grew up the son of a Nasa engineer, often moving around. He spent most of his childhood near Seattle in the Pacific Northwest and graduated near the top of his class at Edmonds Woodway High School. Often tinkering with electronics and competing in math tournaments, it was the outdoors where he was most comfortable. There was no sport he didn’t want to play; baseball, football, basketball, wrestling, soccer, pole vaulting, and when he had time, even fishing and golf.
