“Brian is a team builder that is willing to get in the trenches. His industry experience includes sales and branch management but also includes time in our Fixture Gallery showroom business. Brian was promoted to Oregon Regional Manager in 2022 and instantly engaged his leadership team to build report. In this process he redefined key metric evaluators through customer need assessments. Brian’s analytical approach and strong coaching skills have made a significant impact on the overall success of Consolidated Supply.”
