About Brian (“Skippy”)

Brian is known affectionately by his friends and work crew as “Skippy”, a reliable, good-humored union carpenter who shows up early, lends a hand without being asked, and identifies with the labor family of the Carpenters’ Union local #167.

Beyond the jobsite, Brian is a devoted husband, loving father, a loyal friend, and someone who has always prioritized helping others first. Now he needs our support.

What Happened

That morning in Falls Township, Pennsylvania, Brian was working at a construction site for the new tech/data-center when a backhoe crashed through a temporary wall. The impact caused a massive 20,000-pound piece of equipment (part of the air-conditioning system) to shift and trap Brian’s leg beneath it.  

He had to be freed by coworkers using a forklift before rescue crews arrived. He was transported by trauma EMS to a nearby trauma center.  

The investigation by the fire marshal and OSHA is ongoing.
