Brian has been a geotechnology specialist with the USDA in Lincoln NE since 2013. He trains USDA field office personnel on geospatial technologies and supports the conservation planning initiatives of the USDA in all of Nebraska’s 76 field offices. In February 2020, Brian began a U.S. Embassy Science Fellowship in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. There, he’s advising the Marshallese EPA on the implementation of a new mobile technology platform at combating dengue fever, coastal erosion, and water quantity/quality issues. The fellowship was cut short due to COVID19, but Brian hopes to return to finish sometime in 2021! 
 
Brian also serves as president of the Lincoln USDA Federal Credit Union, is a faculty of International Relations at Union College, and in 2018 he co-founded the InGage Success Lab. Brian is married to Rebecca (met while serving in the Peace Corps in Morocco). They have two boys, Harrison (6) and Elliott (4). They are active parishioners at St. Peter’s in Lincoln and enjoy all manner of outdoor activities.
