A proud O’Dowd graduate, Brian enjoys working with students throughout their high school journey. He earned his BA in History from UC Berkeley and a Master of Education in Educational Leadership from Holy Names University. Brian values the opportunity to watch students grow and mature from their freshman year through graduation.
In the classroom, he emphasizes hands-on learning and discussions about current events to help students connect course content with the world around them.

Outside of school, he enjoys designing and building creative mini-golf holes and props.
