I believe every one of us has the power to create safer, healthier, and stronger communities. Whether on the field, in the classroom, at work, or even out in our daily environments, the choices we make and the awareness we carry can change lives.
My passion is to inspire people to see beyond the challenges we face—whether it’s preventing injuries, fighting off invisible threats like viruses and bacteria, or embracing new innovations that improve our wellbeing—and realize that we all have the ability to protect ourselves and those we care about.
When knowledge meets action, real transformation begins.

"I’ve seen him earn trust across engineers, operators,
and community stakeholders"
"From microbial threats and disinfection byproducts to metals and emerging contaminants, Brian connects science to operations. He translates complex lab results into plain language and decisive actions, builds robust protocols, and coaches teams so that quality isn’t a checkbox—it’s a culture. I’ve seen him earn trust across engineers, operators, and community stakeholders because he combines rigor with empathy and urgency with calm."
