About Brian Simonson:
Curls out of: Hibbing Curling Club
Curling start: "Started curling with my dad, Art Simonson, in 1967. Have also curled with my wife and three daughters."
"For over 20 years I have been running a junior bonspiel in Chisholm, Minn. The bonspiel is now named after my cousin, Tom Serrano, who was a member of the first two championship rinks in 1963 and 1964, and was killed in Vietnam in 1966."
