Brian and his partner, Shannon, came to Oak Park nearly a decade ago and are raising their 8- and 3-year-old children in the home Shannon’s mom grew up in, near Lindberg park in northwest Oak Park.  

Brian has fond memories growing up riding bikes around his hometown and playing in front yards with the neighborhood kids—and wants the same for his kids here in Oak Park. As a step in that direction, Brian currently serves on the Oak Park Transportation Commission where he advocates for complete streets—redesigning our streets to be safer and more accessible for our families to be able to bike, walk and access public transportation.
