Biography
Brian Christofferson was born in northern Idaho, grew up in Oregon and Montana and graduated from high school in Eureka, Montana in 1969. While on an adventure to Hawaii he found that he won the Vietnam Lottery. Faced with draft number 29 he elected to enlist in the Air Force. After three years, ten months, two weeks, four days, six hours and some odd minutes in service to his country he moved to Missoula in 1975 to pursue a degree in pre-medical sciences while taking a job as a flight instructor as his "Plan B". When the opportunity arose to fly airmail in a twin-engined airplane he made the leap. On the first of April 1977 made the drive north for another adventure which was the seed for his book "Wadie's Sandbox". After thirty years of flying professionally he retired in 2007 and he and his wife moved to Panama where they enjoy beach time, meeting new people, playing the piano and writing.
