At age 26, Brian followed his dream and became a founding member of Sober College in Woodland Hills, CA, and ultimately took the position as president. As that program became successful, he wanted to do more and this drive helped him to develop Sober College University, a school dedicated to helping at-risk youth build successful futures.

Brian was treasured by all who knew him and touched the lives of so many young people through the continued love for his work. Brian has many friends from all around the world and truly made a difference in the lives of everyone who were fortunate enough to know him.
