Brian Housman, like so many others, moved to Boston for college. He came here from Chicago to attend Harvard College, from which he graduated with a B.A. in Government in 1992. When he started college, he wanted to be a diplomat. By the time he graduated, he wanted to spend as much time as possible studying and teaching the Bible. He joined the staff of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a group which helps students learn about what it means to follow Jesus. He worked with InterVarsity at Harvard and then - along with his wife Jennie - at Yale.

When Brian and Jennie returned to Boston in 1998 for Brian's new position as Area Director for InterVarsity, they were excited by the prospect of attending the Greater Boston Vineyard, which they'd heard about through several close friends. The first Sunday they attended, Brian helped move chairs, and he's been doing so pretty much ever since. He has also led small groups, taught scripture studies, and helped in areas of leadership training and development. He joined the staff of the Greater Boston Vineyard in August 2002 to continue in these areas full-time.

Brian loves to grill meat, cook Italian food, play strategy games, and watch sports. A few years back he made the monumental decision to change allegiances from the Chicago Bears and White Sox to the Patriots and the Red Sox.
