Brian's Family & Friends

Brian and Family

I value family above all else in my life and am extremely grateful to have amazingly supportive parents (Ron and Susan) , a brother (Jeff, 22) who is also a best friend, a dog with more personality than some humans (Brody), and a small, but incredible extended family.  I come from a mixed religion background as my mom is Protestant, and my father is Jewish; this has given me insight into different cultures and has made me more understanding of others.  I am incredibly blessed to have my family. 


Brian with Friends

I am also thankful to have an amazing core group of friends, as well as a great network of friends from college, work, travel, and other life experiences.  I have a tendency to build deep lasting relationships with people, and I have known many of my closest friends from the time we met in kindergarten.  I enjoy connecting with people, learning about their backgrounds, and broadening my own perspective in doing so.  This picture is of my core group of  childhood friends about to river raft in Lake Tahoe on 4th of July, a long-standing tradition.
