Brian Steele (he/him)
I have 43 years of experience working in independent schools in Texas, Michigan, and New York, and I’m thrilled to be part of the Kazoo School community. In addition to my many years in independent education, I serve as Kazoo’s Engagement & Development Coordinator. I lead the Annual Fund, help build connections with our families, alumni, and broader community, and supervise our interns.
I also teach a Middle School finance elective, where I get to help students explore the real-world skills and ideas behind money, budgeting, and financial decision-making.
At Kazoo, I’m also happy to take on just about whatever project needs doing. In my spare time, I recently cleaned out the basement—and I’m always ready to jump in when someone asks, “Hey, Brian, could you…?” There’s usually a yes somewhere in there.
When I’m not at Kazoo, I’m a devoted husband, grandfather, and cat dad. And whenever I finally decide it’s time to leave Kazoo for the day, I suspect there will still be one more project for me to take on!
