Brian works with the Lac du Flambeau Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa in Vilas County. His office is located in Lac du Flambeau. Brian’s programs focus on intergovernmental/tribal cooperation, downtown revitalization and community development, planning, communications for the tribal council and tribal agencies, lakes and water quality, and outdoor recreation. He has produced a UW-Extension videotape on “Ancient Ways, Modern People” as a way to educate people on the myths and misconceptions about the Lac du Flambeau tribe.
