Hall of Fame
Arriving on the Hilltop at the same time as new Hoya diving coach Amy Wilkins, Brian joined Head Coach Bethany Bower’s swimming and diving team that competed in the BIG EAST Conference against such national powers as Miami, Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame.
During his four years at Georgetown, Brian enjoyed enormous success. In his first meet as a Hoya, he broke the three- meter diving school record (based on six dives), a record he would go on to break several more times. At the conclusion of his diving career, he had broken three other Georgetown diving marks on several occasions: three-meter diving (based on eleven dives); one-meter diving (based on six dives); and one-meter diving (based on eleven dives). Brian’s six-dive school records went unbroken for sixteen years.
At the BIG EAST Championships, Brian reached the finals each year in the one- meter and three-meter events, with sixth and eighth place finishes as a junior. He accomplished this while competing against scholarship BIG EAST competition that included as many as four Olympic divers in the same meet. Brian was named team MVP in three of his four years of diving and served as team captain as a senior. At the conclusion of his final season, he and his teammates were ranked fourth in the nation on the Scholar All-America team GPA list of Division I men’s teams.
After graduating from the McDonough School of Business in 1999 with a degree in Marketing, Brian immediately dove into a career in communications and marketing. He interned with the National Hockey League, and with Sports Illustrated at the Sydney Olympics. Brian then turned his talents in a culinary direction, working in marketing and sales at Food & Wine Magazine and at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Since 2005, Brian has worked in communications and event marketing for investment banks Lehman Brothers, Nomura, and UBS in New York City, Hong Kong, and now Los Angeles. With Nomura, he handled sponsorship activities at the Beijing Olympics and also received the company’s first corporate citizenship award for his philanthropic work.
