Brian has maintained his interest in rowing with as a strong supporter of the Barwon Rowing Club and Geelong Rowing Association. His time as an administrator of the Geelong Rowing Association spanned around 16 years up to 2013 both as assistant secretary and secretary. He has been instrumental in enhancing the Barwon River rowing course to a "boutique" venue so as rowers and spectators enjoy their regatta experience in Geelong. This will be a lasting legacy.
