About Me

Brian retired in 2011 from Fire Service after 30 plus years in public emergency services that began with a position as a volunteer/paid call firefighter and culminated in his last position as fire chief of the El Dorado Hills Fire Department. During his tenure as chief, he worked collaboratively with many agencies within the County and surrounding region to serve and protect our people, their property and our business community. He was instrumental in the consolidation of Districts, the mitigation of many local disasters, the enhancement of service delivery levels and the protection of many precious assets of El Dorado County. The Department's efforts under Brian's leadership allowed them to maintain financial stability for Fire and Emergency Services resulting in cost effective, high level and efficient service to our citizens.

In 2012, Brian was elected to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors and served two four-year terms for District 3 and through his various County assignments. The end of Brian’s two terms as the District 3 County Supervisor did not mean a time of rest, he completed two years as Executive Director for El Dorado County Emergency Services JPA, served on LAFCO (Local Area Agency Formation Commission), and was elected to EID’s Board of Directors where he served as Board President in 2023.

Brian has had the opportunity to testify before two Congressional committees regarding catastrophic wildfire, land management and emergency preparedness.

Brian's commitment to "Service Above Self' is evident in the many ways he finds to give back to our El Dorado County community. Besides his most recent service, Brian has served 14 years as an elected Board member with the Camino Union School District, three years as Board member of the El Dorado County Emergency Services

Authority JPA, and 25 years as emergency medical services training program director for El Dorado County Fire Chiefs Association. He is a 17-year Rotarian, I2-year member of Kiwanis Club of Placerville, Marshall Foundation for Community Health Emeritus Board Member, Marshall Medical Board Member, El Dorado Community Foundation Board Member and he also maintains affiliations with Boys and Girls Club, The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, the USGA, and the NRA to name a few.
