"Bryan is a brilliant artist and one of the best in the business. Whether it's a broad concept or the smallest detail, Bryan has an eye to make sure every last piece is not only visually stunning, but perfect in every aspect. I had the privilege of working with Bryan as a creative partner, and it was a daily delight to watch him turn my copy into gold. To this day, I miss our daily marital fights over fonts, photos, headlines, and deadlines. A true talent and a class act, Bryan would never cease to amaze me when I dropped the three dreaded words ("Make it work")... because he did, and he made it work better than I ever envisioned it."
- Brian Meyer, Creative Director at Match Marketing Group

"It was obvious Bryan was not going to stay in his hired role as a graphic designer and videographer for long. He was always eager to pitch ideas, lead projects and execute. He was quickly promoted throughout the years and consistently emerged as a reliable and outstanding talent in multiple roles. Year after year he outperformed his performance goals. He will continue to flourish and be great wherever he goes. I am excited to see what he does next!” - Grace Gerrity, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Ivoclar
"Always bringing fresh thinking to his work, Bryan was a pleasure to work with and to have on the team. Whether the project involved a multi-media execution or revolved around a simple brochure, Bryan attacked all his work with enthusiasm and energy. Bryan brought solid creative ideation to the table while working within the boundaries of a tight strategy. A true advertising pro." - Janet Stanek, Director of Business Development, RGC

"Bryan is a true professional in every sense of the word. He has always been a team player since day 1 with great energy that inspires others. Going through multiple rounds of mass layoffs over the years, our team was burdened with handling many job responsibilities beyond our job description. He always rolled his sleeves up and excelled in whatever he was tasked with. On top of our hectic agency workload, Bryan raised his hand to take on other responsibilities. Most notably he became the photographer for North America within our organization and also became the manager for North America of our Sales Enablement platform Showpad. These were all huge undertakings. Time and time again he shines. He displays top tier talent, ability, will, self-belief and a positive attitude. He is a great human. These things will lead Bryan to a new successful chapter of his career. I have no doubt. He will be an asset wherever he goes.” - Donald Churik, Senior Manager Creative Services, Ivoclar
"Bryan is a very talented artist with a great creative vision. He can design what is asked for and is equally comfortable taking a project from concept to completion on his own. Bryan is a wonderful talent and team player." - James Gillan, Buffalo Advertising Executive

This is where I got my foot in the door. ECS was a start up demand response energy company. I was the 10th employee hired. I started as a salesman just waiting for my opportunity to help with marketing. I designed a brochure for a new service we began offering and the owners began giving me more and more freedom to brand and market all the companies as well as all the services. Within 3 years we grew to a 200 person company. I grew my department and managed 2 graphic designer, 2 web developers and an internet marketer. The owner was my boss. He was a gritty entrepreneur and fearless leader. He instilled many great qualities in me.
