Brian has proudly called Miami Beach home for over 20 years. He’s not a politician; he’s a neighbor who’s built a life and a business here and spent years giving back to the city he loves. Now, he’s running for City Commission to make sure Miami Beach works for the people who live here.
With a career spanning real estate, finance, and entrepreneurship, Brian knows how to turn big ideas into real results. At the tech startup Sonder, he led acquisitions, fundraising, and policy strategy to help scale the company across 12 major markets. At The Related Group, he managed large-scale projects throughout South Florida and Latin America. He later served as Director of Investor Relations at an investment firm with $8 billion under management, working directly with clients from individual investors to major institutions. He also led the firm’s headquarters acquisition and supported its philanthropic initiatives. Whether launching startups, managing complex real estate deals, or working with institutional investors, Brian brings the kind of real-world management experience Miami Beach needs from its City Commissioners.
He holds a Master’s in Public Policy from Harvard, where he focused on how cities can grow responsibly while preserving their unique character and quality of life. He was also a recipient of the Fulbright Fellowship in the Dominican Republic, where he helped reform a national educational assistance program - a subsidy delivered to families as part of the country’s school access initiative — cutting waste and improving efficiency.
His leadership spans multiple city boards, including the Historic Preservation Board, Cultural Arts Council, Capital Improvements Committee, and Board of Adjustment, where he’s built a reputation for listening, solving problems, and standing up for residents. When Tallahassee tried to gut local control over historic buildings, Brian penned an op-ed in the Miami Herald defending Miami Beach’s architectural legacy and the right of communities to shape their future. His commitment isn’t confined to boardrooms: he also helped bring the National Cycling League to Miami Beach, drawing 12,000 visitors and gifting 200 bikes to students at Feinberg-Fisher as part of a broader effort to offer positive community-based programming during spring break.
Now, he’s ready to bring that experience to City Hall, to demand accountability, invest in infrastructure, and put community first. Because this city doesn’t just need better management; it needs a clear vision, rooted in values, and built for the people who live here.
