About

Hi. I'm Brian.

I am an anti-oppressive social worker with 19 years' US and international nonprofit experience in development and fundraising; strategic community, volunteer, and corporate partnership building; marketing and communications; and program management.

I am an instinctive, inclusive leader who is passionate about inspiring, equipping, and activating people to share their talents and resources to advance social justice and equity outcomes.

I am currently seeking new opportunities to be a leader, transformative relationship-builder, and impactful fundraiser in the nonprofit sector.

I am a co-leader of the LA Fundraisers Network, a free grassroots support and resource group for nonprofit development professionals. I also provide customized community engagement and development workshops, strategy, and coaching on a consultative basis.

I am a lifelong Bruin, with a BA in Psychology and Spanish from UCLA, including a year at the University of Barcelona. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) at Columbia University in New York City, where I specialized in program development and community mobilization.

I am a connector, cook, and gardener, and am learning (every day) how to be the best parent I can be to two amazing kids, with my incredible partner, Jennie Rosenbaum.
