Hi, I’m Brian.
I help growing organizations bring clarity to complexity by connecting brand, systems, people, and execution.
Most organizations already have good people, good products, and good intentions. Where things usually break down is alignment. The story isn't clear. The systems don't work together. Teams are moving, but not always in the same direction.
I enjoy stepping into that complexity, finding what's actually creating friction, and building the clarity that helps people move forward.
What I Do Now
Most recently, I served as Director of Marketing for a medical device manufacturer. Over four years, I helped transform a fragmented marketing function into a connected growth system by building the CRM, launching the company's first direct channel, rebuilding consulting services, implementing lifecycle automation, and aligning marketing more closely with customer experience and business goals.
My role was about creating clarity across systems, teams, and customer touchpoints so the business could move more intentionally and scale more effectively.
When I’m Not At Work
I grew up in Minnesota and have been married to my college sweetheart since 2011. We have two young boys who keep life loud and interesting.
When I’m not working I’m usually with my family, outside somewhere, or chasing whatever small adventure the weekend allows.
