Brian Ahlers, the esteemed owner and operator of Redlands Jewelers, shines brightly in the facets of his life, from his mastery as a Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America to his adventurous spirit and unwavering commitment to community service.

Beyond the precision and beauty of gemology, Brian has soared in the skies as a pilot, explored depths as a skydiver with over 200 jumps, and navigated the challenges of leadership as the class president of his sheriff's academy graduation. His love for adventure seamlessly blends with his passion for family and the great outdoors, enjoying boating on the Colorado River and jeeping in the desert with his fiancé' and their blended family of five children.

Brian's dedication to community shines through his active involvement in the Rotary Club of Redlands, where he leads as chairman of two pivotal youth events: RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) & PRYDE (Personal Rotary Youth Development Experience). His commitment to nurturing the next generation underscores his belief in service above self, enriching the lives of young individuals through leadership and personal development.

Embracing a new challenge, Brian steps onto the dance floor of the 2024 Annual Gala event, swapping gemstones for dance shoes. With no prior dance experience, this venture is a leap into the unknown, driven by his desire to support his community and push personal boundaries. Brian's participation symbolizes his courage to face new challenges, his eagerness to learn, and his unwavering commitment to making a difference.

As we support Brian Ahlers in this journey, let us celebrate him not only for the dancer he will become but for the remarkable individual he is: a dedicated family man, a respected business owner, a community leader, and a true gem of our community. Brian's story is a testament to the power of embracing life's adventures, the importance of service, and the joy of stepping out of one's comfort zone for a greater cause.
