Brian began his career after graduating from the University of Houston with a Bachelors in Architecture. After working for a few architecture firms in Houston, the financial crisis of 2009 forced a career change.  A friend in tax consulting suggested he use his knowledge of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries to assist companies in identifying Research and Development (R&D) tax credits.  In 2010, Brian traded his T-Square and AutoCAD for a copy of the IRS code and a calculator and has not looked back.

​

Prior to starting TaxIncennovations, Brian gained his experience from one of the nation’s largest provider of specialty tax credit & incentives services.  Starting out as a project manager, he worked with clients primarily in the AEC industry with clients ranging from 1 to 150 million in revenue.   Brian was promoted several times throughout his tenure and left as a Director in the Implementation Department.  During his time as a Director, Brian managed a team of 20 plus project managers, project coordinators and administrative staff.  Additionally, he led studies for some of the company’s largest clients with gross revenues exceeding 2 billion.

​

Currently, Brian leads a staff of experienced R&D project managers from various backgrounds including engineers, modelers, accountants, technical writers and attorneys.  Regardless of the size of the client, he is directly involved in all phases of the study process, from initial engagement through final reporting.

 

When Brian isn’t identifying tax credits for clients and CPAs, he spends time with his wife Stacy and dog Lexi.  They love trying new restaurants, wine tasting (Amarone), and traveling to tropical locations and where he never forgets to bring his golf clubs.
