Outside the Office
Brian is an Idaho native, and family and the outdoors are what brought him back home to build his career and his firm here. He and his wife met on a blind date, and 11 years and five kids later, most of his time outside the office belongs to them.
Ask Brian what he’d rather be doing than sitting at a desk, and the answer is almost always something outside. If there’s a trail, a river, or open mountain air involved, he’ll find a reason to get out there, usually with his family in tow. That same hands-on curiosity carries over into his work. He likes understanding how things are actually built, which makes it easier to understand what’s worth protecting.
