Organizational Impact: Brian offers his time, his knowledge, and his resources (both financial and those less
tangible) to HandsOn Santa Clarita building ongoing financial donations and has brought awareness to the
mission of HandsOn Santa Clarita. This, in turn, has allowed the organization to grow its outreach and impact
on the community. The longevity and success of HandsOn Santa Clarita can in large part be attributed to Brian’s
leadership. He is always the first person at any HOSC event to set-up and the last to go home after take down.
In addition to his personal financial donations, his conference room has been the location for our monthly board
meetings for the past six years and he has graciously hosted many HandsOn Santa Clarita events at his own
home. Brian has also contributed numerous hours of pro-bono legal and HR services. Brian has helped to raise
the visibility of the SCV Senior Center in the community and continues to ensure the success of its largest
fund raiser, Celebrity Waiter.
