Hailing from the city of brotherly love, Brian was raised within the diverse and resilient spirit of Philadelphia. Heeding the call of the mountains he has since planted deep roots in Colorado, where he has called home since 2013. Drawing from his lived experience in recovery and education as a social worker, Brian's passion resides in supporting others as they navigate their path to wellness. Beyond his professional life as the Executive Director for Guardian Recovery at CuraWest, Brian dedicates his time as a founding board member of Colorado Artists in Recovery (C.A.i.R.) and as an advisory board member for the Gateway to the Rockies Opioid Counsel (GROC). When not working or volunteering you'll find Brian exploring the mountains with his family, playing music and board games with friends, finding cold streams and hot springs to jump in, and actively participating in local communities of recovery.
