He is a veteran police leader, retired lawyer, professional speaker, and author who has been involved in criminal justice and law enforcement for over twenty years. In 2004 he was the first officer on the scene of a fatal collision in which the driver was a close friend of Brian's. He ignored the psychological and mental impact this incident had on him. In 2012, after hitting rock bottom, Brian was diagnosed with PTS and slowly rebuilt his marriage, family, and career.

He is certified as a personal coach as well as a mindfulness coach.

Brian has published two books about his experiences with PTSD, mental health, and leadership: ‘On the Other Side of Broken – One Cop’s Battle With the Demons of PTSD’ in 2016, and ‘Career Suicide is Overrated’ in 2018. Brian speaks and trains extensively on issues surrounding trauma, leadership, and public safety culture and has been consulted by media outlets, educational institutions, and public safety organizations across North America.

Brian's training program 'CAPITAL-L Leadership' was the winner of the Corporate Livewire Excellence and Innovation in Mental Health Support award in 2019.
