Although only recently becoming a Technical Account Manager, Brian is by no means new to the dental industry. With more than 13 years in the business, he is no stranger to providing effective solutions in even the most technically challenging situations. The enjoyment of learning something new with each case is what keeps him on his toes and makes him a valuable resource to the entire team. When he's not at the laboratory, Brian can be found playing men's fast pitch softball at a competitive level, working on his collection of classic Schwinn bicycles, and spending time with friends, family, and his European Bloodhound, Kobe.
