Brian Loncar

Brian was born in Newton, Iowa and was raised a Mid-Western boy in Detroit, Chicago, Wyzeta, MN., and in South Bend IN. He graduated from DePauw University in 1983 and then went out to West Texas to acquire his law degree from Texas Tech University in 1987. Brian then came to " Big D'" to seek his fortune and has been a constant fixture on local TV for almost 20 years. Brian has 6 children and a lovely wife named Sue.

Brian wrestled, played football and golf during both high school and college. After law school Brian ran many 5 and 10 K races and even did the half and full marathon in 1987. In the early 90's Brian competed in three sprint triathlons.

15 years later, Brian weighed in at 307. Now, Brian, has lost more than 115 lbs. He has leveled out at 195 lbs. (read the whole store here) In 2007 Brian completed 6 triathlons including a sub-seven hour effort at the Dave Scott ½ Ironman. He then ran 2007 The White Rock Marathon, 2008 Cowtown Marathon ( sub 5 hours) and then planned on 10 triathlons in 2008. Last year's racing season was cut short on May 15th when a near fatal car- fire truck accident ended his season. 2009 begins with Brian well healed. He will race at least 8 times, mostly at the Sprint and Olympic distance. Beware: "The Strong Arm" is getting stronger! (and getting even faster!)
