Brian is the husband of Savanna, dad of August, Paul, and Shepherd, and CEO of Simple Charity. After raising sixty thousand dollars for the global poor with a group of friends in high school, Brian learned that half of those funds went to a charity that may have misused the money. He then went to Duke to learn how to translate passion for a cause into effective action. He graduated magna cum laude with degrees in Economics and Global Health and began working on Simple Charity full-time.

During his college career, Brian co-founded Duke Crux, a journal within the Augustine Collective network. He also interned with Just One Africa in Kenya for four months and studied abroad in China where he completed original research on the history of healthcare in the city of Kunshan. He was a Praxis 2019-20 Emerging Founder.
