Brian began as the Outreach Worker for the Risk-To-Resilience Outreach Program in September of 2002.  The program was a peer based Gay/Bi Men's HIV Prevention Program.  After the collapse of Friends North, the Boyz of Oz Social Network was formed.  As like in the Wizard of Oz, never mind the man behind the curtain, thus The Wizard was born!

Flint began volunteering in a variety of capacities for the R2R Outreach Program in October 2003.  He came to town on his broomstick and has been flying over Traverse City since then.  He also serves as Webmaster of the Boyz Of Oz Website!  Still today, in all his personalities, he's ever so helpful in getting Dorothy to the finish line, anyway they have too!
