About
Brian’s greatest asset is his ability to look at relationships, firm efforts, and projects through a big-picture perspective to ensure unique needs are continually exceeded. This is indicative in his growth at ISG, where he joined as a land survey intern in 1996 and is now the Vice President of Project Delivery. Accountable for client satisfaction and project ingenuity in all markets, Brian and ISG employee owners help clients research, plan, design, and maintain effective facilities and sites that yield an optimal return on investment so daily focus can be on business activities. With direct expertise in the Commercial and Food + Industrial markets, Brian also works closely with investors, owners, and management to craft spaces that draw people in, embrace brand and community loyalty, and maximize dollars per square foot.
