Brian has been a Field & Forest Outdoor Program teacher since the program’s first year in 2011. With a lifelong love of nature acquired during a childhood in New Jersey spent mainly outdoors, and with an inherently playful outlook on life, it is Brian’s objective to bring the passion he has for discovery and learning to children of all ages in a fun and interactive way; and in doing so, to foster positive and lasting connections between people and our surroundings.
Brian has been a student of the Earth Mentor Program at the Wilderness Awareness School, has taught at their summer camps, and has an Associate of Arts degree from Brookdale Community College, where he studied marine science. His extensive experience as an outdoor educator also includes ten years as a supervisor, mentor, and teacher in his position as Program Coordinator at the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium, where he worked with children aged kindergarten through high school. Brian’s background also includes many summers conducting outdoor summer camps, and years of teaching and leading multi-age indoor and outdoor programs with a local northwest wilderness program.
When not engaged in a creative project driven by his unfettered curiosity, you might also find Brian around campus playing in the dirt, or, as he calls it, “helping to maintain the facilities”.
