Aidan McDonough graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with his bachelor’s degree in communications. He moved to Boston in 2010 to pursue his career in public service. When he moved to Boston, he knew right away that he wanted to make Boston his home.

After being active in the Brighton community and for local and state campaigns, it became clear to him that he had a passion for civic involvement and helping others to find and build their own community in Boston. McDonough served on the SPARK Boston Council in 2018-2019. He was formerly the Executive Director of Brighton Main Streets.

When McDonough is not in the office, he is active in both the Stonewall and Pride Sports LGBTQIA+ leagues. He is also a regular at his local gym, body + fuel, which has been a staple in the Savin Hill small  business community for years.
