After a childhood in New Mexico, Brian moved to Brooklyn, New York. There, he evolved into an expert in material handling management. At one point, Brian managed a half-million square foot facility. Then he made a career move into the cooler and freezer door business with well-known manufacturers’ rep Ron Schwerman.

  • an environmental chamber for lung tissue storage
  • the new Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art renovation for temperature control on fine art
  • 8 doors for preservation of displays Chicago Natural History Museum (Field Museum)

As a professional in the field, Brian returns his knowledge to the community by lecturing throughout his region on air sealing technologies. He also works with state agencies to explain the physics of air-sealing and best methods to achieve and maintain air-sealed environments.

Volunteerism is a practice Brian has maintained over the years. One of Brian’s first volunteer jobs was with Rio Grande Zoo is Albuquerque, which means Brian has come full circle from the Zoo in Albuquerque to penguin enclosure doors in Omaha.
