With his extensive background in performance and theater, Brian understands more than most the importance of supporting an entire cast, an entire organization. While his role as office manager requires no small amount of logistical and organizational expertise, his passion is to provide the holistic support—the underlying harmony—that lets Collective Next really sing.

Brian’s career performing has allowed him to tread the boards at venues as auspicious as Carnegie Hall, New York Concert Opera, and Madison Square Garden (you should really ask him about that one, if you get the chance). His work as a manager and leader at MAC Cosmetics taught him how to manage a space and a team, with an eye towards detail and aesthetics. Brian draws on these myriad experiences to do what he loves the most: helping and supporting people, projects, and stories that inspire others.

When he’s not working, you might find Brian humming a tune or at home, taking pictures of his cat, Jill.
