Through his own mental health challenges, Brian Neuner has found a way to support & inspire others experiencing the same concerns
At first glance, it's hard to connect the dots of Brian Neuner's professional life as it has shifted from playing fields to banks to boardrooms. What ties it all together is his genuine interest in building meaningful relationships with people. He enjoys meeting them, understanding them, learning from them, and helping them.
Brian, a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, began his career as a television sports director, telling the stories of athletes, coaches, and behind-the-scenes heroes. Although he worked in the daily news business, to him, the job wasn’t merely transactional. Decades after he signed off on his last newscast, Brian remains in close contact with many of the people he covered.
He moved on to extended stints working in business development, marketing, and management in the private sector before taking over his current role as the chief development officer for Special Olympics Missouri. Brian has served on numerous boards for organizations ranging from hospitals to local nonprofits. He has helped raise significant sums of money for causes ranging from healthcare to education to sports opportunities for children.
The more he built connections with people across all demographics and socioeconomic backgrounds, the more he understood the universality of mental health challenges. It was always there in the background, whether it was an anxious young athlete away from home for the first time or a CEO who seemingly had it all but still felt like something was missing.
Brian decided to move mental health from the background to the foreground of his life. In 2021, he was appointed by the governor to the
Missouri Mental Health Commission. Now, he offers his services as a consultant and guest speaker. Brian is comfortable talking to clubs, teams, and businesses of all sizes about the importance of prioritizing mental health, destigmatizing mental illness, and taking advantage of the resources available.
