Emma Sorg

Treasurer
Jackson, Wy

Emma has found herself loving the small-town life and the outdoors more than she ever thought possible here in Jackson. Growing up in the larger cities of the Midwest, this was quite the lifestyle change! She enjoys hiking, spending time on the water, cooking (and eating), taking care of her houseplants and gardening, and exploring the local shops and restaurants.

Emma joined PSL in the summer of 2023, and is passionate about mental health advocacy and support. 

 

Brandon Johnson

Director Development
Montgomery, Al

Him and his wife Schmeka and their daughter Braylen (14 months old) live in Montgomery, Alabama.

In his own words: “I was drawn to the mission of People Spread Love because of a situation me and my wife faced in May 2021 in which we lost our first child to a rare genetic disorder called Edward’s Syndrome. During this point in my life, I could have used the programs that PSL offers to help me cope. I truly believe that the world is filled with enough hatred and that it is the responsibility of each and every one of us to put love and compassion back into the world.”
