2025 Will Hartigan Speaker Series on Athletics and Wellness

Please join us for the 2025 Will Hartigan Speaker Series on Athletics and Wellness


Featuring Brian Brown on his experience with Alcoholism, Athletics, Recovery and Wellness


Program, Q&A, and refreshments to be served.


Brian has been recognized by his peers many times as one of New York’s top trial attorneys.  He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Davidson College where he was a four-year letterman in football. He went on to receive his Juris Doctor degree from the Fordham University School of Law where he served on the editorial board of the Fordham International Law Journal and as President of the Irish-American Law Students Association.

Brian’s real passions in life are his family and his recovery. Brian and his wife, Meredith, have three teenage girls (17, 15, 13) and reside in Manhattan. Brian has been in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction for nearly 20 years and is active in 12 Step recovery groups. He has had the privilege of mentoring and “sponsoring” many men, including the late Will Hartigan, on their own recovery journeys. Brian also serves on the Board of Directors of the Hopeful Hands Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that provides scholarships for addiction and mental-health treatment to people in need, particularly, but not exclusively, veterans. Brian is eternally grateful for the gift of getting to participate in the recovery of other addicts and alcoholics and contribute to the restoration of families touched by the disease of addiction.
