Attorney Brian Petersen grew up in a large family and loved to banter back and forth with his siblings, but it wasn't until he met his Wife that he decided that law school was an option. Prior to attending college, Brian worked in the construction industry and to this day enjoys woodworking and being in the outdoors.

Prior to his undergraduate and law school career, Brian served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Montreal Quebec where he learned to speak French. Brian finds great strength and support in his faith as well as his family relationships. Brian continues to volunteer his time in various activities with the Volunteer Lawyers Program and other organizations in the community.

Brian is married to a wonderful woman who is a great strength and support in all that he does. Brian and Bethany have four children. Their family loves camping, basketball, water sports, watching movies and getting together with family and friends to play card or board games.
