Recipient of the 2024 Alumni Titan Award

Brian is the Manager of Visitor Services and Events at the Spurlock Museum of World Cultures at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While earning his B.S. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Brian volunteered at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts as an usher and tour guide. These experiences led to eventual employment as Patron Services Director in 2003. Two years later, he moved to Spurlock Museum as Coordinator of Special Events. In addition to overseeing events, Brian is also responsible for facility calendars, reception and security staffs, and building operations. Following graduation from IMSA, Brian remained connected with students and alumni through campus visits and an online presence on IMSA’s text-based servers (imsasun, titan). As IMSA matured and engaged with growing numbers of alumni, Brian was a consistent presence during annual Alumni Day activities. He was elected the IMSA Alumni Association’s ninth president, serving three terms from 2017 to 2023.
