About  Brian

I had spent the better part of my adult life striving to serve as an ordained person who happens to be openly gay, and then who achieved that call. I am now ordained by the Presbyterian Church (USA).

 

Over the last 15 years I spent a great deal of time learning to listen to other people’s stories. Motivated by that practice of listening I was called to serve as a Chaplain Intern at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Minister for Campus Engagement at United University Church at the University of Southern California, Minister Coordinator for the Queer Faith Forum, and recently as a Spiritual Director. I look forward to hearing your story and discovering how I might accompany you on your journey.
