About Brian
I grew up in one of those do-it-yourself homes where the mere mention of hiring an outside professional bordered on sacrilege. By the age of eight, I could wire an electrical outlet, change the oil in a car, and whip up an amazing batch of scrambled eggs. Since then, I’ve remained on a constant quest to learn as many new skills as possible from every expert I can find.
I bring this same philosophy to my approach to marketing and strategic communication. My goal with any communications strategy is to apply all that I know toward creating a holistic marketing ecosystem for your business that informs, educates, and, when possible, entertains.
A former supervisor once referred to me as a Swiss army knife. I consider it the highest compliment I’ve ever been paid.
