Brian Sherk

Brian grew up in Valleyview where he spent most of his time playing sports and enjoying time with his family. Brian graduated as part of the 2005 class from Hillside High School. While in high school Brian participated in cross country running, volleyball, badminton, track and field, and the business club.

After Brian graduated he attended Grande Prairie Regional College in the two-year transfer program to the University of Alberta. While at GPRC, Brian joined the badminton and cross country running teams.
