Summary
Hi! I am Brian!
"I'm a passionate and energetic Design Technologist who leverages digital technologies to solve real-world problems."
I am a graduate of Montana State University’s Graduate School of Architecture. I have been an educator since January 2018 at Gallatin College in Bozeman, Montana. I have taught remotely from Boise, Idaho for three years through Microsoft Teams. We leverage VR technology to assist remote learning with Autodesk products. I am passionate and energetic about the use of AEC Technology and educating our future emerging AEC workforce. I have attended several national conferences where I have been a speaker, advocate, and collaborator with our industry.
One of my core design principles is a belief that design can only have an impact through immense collaboration with the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. The industry can be more successful by working through the design together and breaking free from individual silos.
I have completed my NCARB Architectural Experience Program Requirements and beginning to study for licensure. A quote that has defined my career path and that I reflect on every day from Jack Smith, FAIA, my thesis advisor at Montana State University’s GRADUATE SOA, “Don’t become a tool to the tool.”
