Bryan B. Joffe

After 20 years on Wall Street, Bryan switched direction and is pursuing his Master's in Social Work. Living in New York City, Rio de Janeiro, London, and Mexico City provided a global perspective on the pain of those not having a home. He has always paid close attention to the extensive and growing population of those incarcerated in the US and was moved by the daunting task of helping those returning to their communities. Many of those being released from jails and prisons face homelessness upon their release, and this intersection is where Bryan chose to focus.

Currently, Bryan B. Joffe is a dedicated intern at The Lord's Place, where he works closely with case managers to address the complex issues faced by those seeking a second chance, including shelter and other challenges. In a joint initiative with his colleague and friend, Judson Pierre, Bryan has taken the lead in advocating for increased in-person support in jails, recognizing that successful reentry begins well before release. 

He and his wife, Lyla, aspire to set examples of service to their two daughters. In his spare time, Bryan enjoys traveling to surf waves worldwide.
