Brian grew up in Saint Louis, Missouri, and attended Missouri Baptist University for his B.S. in Secondary Education and Social Sciences (2014). He places the utmost importance on continued learning and wanted to become a Teacher Ambassador to support other educators in finding quality civics and history-based professional development with Founding Forward.
