Brian Kawecki, APRN, CRNA

My path to anesthesia began when I received my first anesthetic. I remember the impact my anesthetist had on calming my anxiety before the procedure, and keeping me comfortable during and after. Shortly after that experience, I began my pursuit to a career in anesthesia. I take great pride in being able to ease the pain and anxiety that many experience when undergoing a medical procedure or giving birth. It is so rewarding to have a positive impact on my patient's lives.

I grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis and have lived in Fairmont since 2009. I am married with three lovely children. I'm truly enjoying watching my kids grow up. In my spare time, I enjoy running, listening to music and spending time with the family.
