Born and raised in Utah, Brian Holdstock loves being where he’s close to family and can cheer on the underdogs—and he finds Utah is a great place to do both. While he’ll root for any team, he mainly cheers for RSL.
As a dad of four (five if you count his miniature goldendoodle), Brian appreciates that kids keep it real. He feels like there’s never a dull moment when children are around. As a nurse practitioner, he especially loves those chatty 4 and 5-year-olds who make him feel like their best friend. Brian is passionate about tackling bedwetting, spotting hidden abdominal pains, and fixing nursemaid’s elbows.
When he’s not making kids laugh with his dad jokes, you can find him spending time with his family on the Stansbury soccer sidelines, reading John Grisham or Michael Vey, or smoking a good tri-tip. Brian has mad sewing skills and enjoys hemming his own suit pants as well as making Levi quilts, teddy bears, and sock soccer balls.
He strives to provide the highest quality of care to all of his patients and enjoys helping mold the next generation of healthcare providers.
