| Info | For nearly ten years, Brian has been teaching high school social studies in Georgia public schools. A product of public education himself, he believes the strength of our democracy is tied to our commitment to provide a quality public education for all children and create the common thread by which the fabric of our community is woven.
Childhood experiences helped to shape Brian’s views of the importance of public education. After his father’s illness left his mother to raise four children by herself, she counted on public schools to create opportunities for her children that she, alone, was unable to provide.
After serving four years in the United States Marine Corps, Brian worked his way through college with the help of the G.I. Bill, scholarships, and student loans. Upon completing graduate school and with the aid of valuable life experiences, he began his teaching career.
Since his very first year in the classroom, Brian has been an active member of the Georgia Association of Educators and believes that educators must be involved in any efforts to reform their profession. His interest in politics springs from the conviction that developing future generations of engaged citizens will require educators—along with parents, business leaders, and politicians—to model the behaviors essential for responsible citizenship.
Brian holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and a Master of Science degree in sociology from Florida State University. He also received a Juris Doctor degree from Georgia State University’s College of Law and a Master of Public Administration from the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.
