Brian (Zee) Zaremba smiling.

One of Rick's closest friends, Zee once stayed at Rick's for 6 months before he bought his own home.

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Zee has a wife and two dogs and originally worked installing sprinklers and fire safety equipment. He also has twenty years' worth of construction experience.

Before Zee joined Rick's crew last season in the Yukon he had never set foot in a mine, but he has since found success and a load of gold.
