About Brian Barczyk: Hi! I'm Brian Barczyk, and I have been daily vlogging on YouTube since May 10, 2016 sharing my amazing life filled with animals. My journey here on YouTube and social media has been truly magnificent and magical. Since 2016, I've been part of TV network series, produced my own documentary in South Africa, traveled the world to meet incredible animals and animal lovers, started a podcast, created a convention for animal content creators, built and expanded The Reptarium - an interactive reptile Zoo in Utica, Michigan and so much more.
In March 2023, just as we were ready to break ground on our expanded facility, I received a life-altering diagnosis of inoperable Pancreatic Cancer. Despite the challenges and my fears, the amazing community we've built on YouTube over the last 7+ years has kept me inspired to continue sharing my journey.
Now, I'm fully committed to building our expanded facility, Legasea Aquarium & The Reptarium, just across the street. This project represents resilience and the pursuit of dreams in difficult times. With the incredible support of our community, the #ReptileArmy, we're turning obstacles into opportunities. Together, let's create a brighter future for reptiles and all animals, inspiring others to embrace their passions in the face of adversity.
Join us on this inspiring journey of discovery, conservation, and hope. Together, we'll make a lasting impact and celebrate the extraordinary animal world.
