Born and raised in Down East Maine, Brian often visited Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park as a child and young adult, enjoying the culture and natural beauty the island has to offer. His love of the outdoors eventually led Brian to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Maine prior to moving to New Mexico in 2012 to pursue grand adventure and a career in public education.

While in New Mexico, Brian worked for seven years in a Title I school district as a high school science teacher, varsity soccer coach, and database specialist. His experiences as a teacher and coach instilled in Brian a desire to help people, but it was the transition to database management that made him realize his analytical skills could help an organization provide more successful service at a larger scale. Over the years, Brian came to recognize that he was not suited for the desert climate and eventually made the decision to return to Maine. Upon his arrival, Brian sought out further opportunities to aid those in need, leading him to the MDI Hospital Advancement team.

After nearly a decade away, Brian is excited to reacquaint himself with the Down East region while lending his skills and knowledge to the hospital and MDI community as a whole. In his free time Brian loves to read, cook, and spend time in nature; he also enjoys snuggling and playing with his cats.
