Executive Vice President - R&D & 179D
Brian began his career after graduating from the University of Houston with a Bachelors in Architecture. After working for a few architecture firms in Houston, the financial crisis of 2009 forced a career change. A friend in tax consulting suggested he use his knowledge of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries to assist companies in identifying Research and Development (R&D) tax credits. In 2010, Brian traded his T-Square and AutoCAD for a copy of the IRS code and a calculator and has not looked back.
Currently, Brian leads a staff of experienced R&D project managers from various backgrounds including engineers, modelers, accountants, technical writers and attorneys. Regardless of the size of the client, he is directly involved in all phases of the study process, from initial engagement through final reporting.
When Brian isn’t identifying tax credits for clients and CPAs, he spends time with his wife Stacy, children Luke and Charlotte and dog Stevie. They love trying new restaurants, wine tasting (Amarone), taking the kids to indoor play places, and traveling to tropical locations and where he never forgets to bring his golf clubs.
