If the wisdom of the ages could be condensed into one phrase, “nosce te ipsum“-know thyself-Brian Pinkston is a wise man. Unlike many Americans with their nomadic paths through life and career, Pinkston found early on what suited him and has spent his life excelling in those arenas. Born and raised in Illinois, Pinkston lost one leg to amputation as a child, and as an active boy spent a great deal of time asking questions of his prosthetist while his perpetually battered leg went through repairs.
