==Educational career and mentorship==
Brierly was a graduate of Columbia University in New York City. He helped form a talent agency there before returning to Denver, where he became an English literature teacher and guidance counselor at East High School. Brierly took an active role in mentoring young men he considered bright students, to help motivate them and use his connections to place them in college. After fourteen years as a teacher, Brierly was appointed as the supervisor of college and scholarship guidance for Denver Public Schools.〔. A 1959 ''Time'' magazine article mentions Brierly as the "coordinator of college counseling for Denver schools." .〕 He also served as a committee member of the Ivy League Scholarship Board in Denver. Future aerospace CEO and Defense Department official Norman Ralph Augustine was among the students Brierly mentored.〔 ("Fate intervened in Mr. Augustine's junior year at East Denver High School, in the form of Justin W. Brierly, a guidance counselor who prided himself on getting as many students as he could into Ivy League universities...He summoned Mr. Augustine, then one of the top two students in his class of more than 700, to his office...Mr. Brierly handed him two folders and told him to fill out the forms. One was an application to Princeton University, the other to Williams College.").〕 During World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill invited Brierly to England as a consultant on the evacuation of children from urban areas at risk from German bombing. Brierly retired from the school system in 1971, after thirty-six years of service.〔.〕
