The PA Parks and Forests Foundation Wednesday announced Brian Kavalukas has joined the PPFF Board of Directors.

Since graduating from University of Pittsburgh and Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business, Mr. Kavalukas has concentrated his work in finance management and business planning for large corporations.

Currently Kavalukas is Director of Finance, Sales and Commercial Business Partner with Direct Energy. Brian brings to the PPFF Board of Directors significant financial planning and budgeting experience. 

Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, Brian spent much of his time camping, hiking, hunting and fishing Pennsylvania’s mountains, valleys, and ridges.  As an Eagle Scout, Brian learned at a young age to appreciate, support, and care for our public lands. 

Averaging roughly 125 hiked miles a year, Brian was first attracted to PPFF through the Ridge Runners of Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail. Additionally Kavalukas is active with Edgewood Borough’s Street Tree Planning Committee.

“We are excited to welcome Brian to the Board of Directors,” said Marci Mowery, President of the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation. “Brian has been a supporter of the work of the Foundation both as a donor and a volunteer. His enthusiasm for our park and forest system and his knowledge of finances are assets that will advance the mission of the Foundation.”

“It’s an honor to join the PPFF Board, said Brian. “I’m delighted to help advance the critical supporting role the organization provides our state’s public lands.”
