He also competed at four World Championships, in 1983, 1987, 1991, and 1993, with a best finish of fourth in 1987. Diemer won a gold medal at the 1990 Goodwill Games and a silver medal at the 1995 Pan American Games. Diemer ran at the University of Michigan, where he won the NCAA steeplechase in 1983 and was third in the 2-mile at the 1983 NCAA Indoor Championships.
Diemer is currently a second-generation co-owner of Everett’s Landscape Management that has been in business for over 50 years. Brian is proud that his son and nephew are carrying on the Everett's Landscape legacy as third generation co-owners. Everett's Landscape Management specializes in landscape design and build, landscape maintenance, snow and ice removal and a nursery. Everett’s employs over 180 employees during the busy growing season.
