About

They have served on several Boards, counseled young couples, taught a college course (“Disability in American Society”), led support groups, written articles and spoken at various church and business retreats on the topic of disability.

Brian is a software entrepreneur. He was also a Professor of Computer Science and Entrepreneurship at Messiah College for 16 years. Today, Brian is actively working as a product and market strategy consultant to the tech industry.
