Hello, I Am Brian.
Business and technology leader
Jack of many trades. Master of a few.
I know that is not how the saying goes, but it is how it goes for me. I have had the wonderful experience of exposure to many specialties, and the fortune of developing the opportunity to master a select few of them.

Software and AI Geek
My educational background is in software development, data science, and artificial intelligence; and as such is one of my passions.
Digital Marketer
I have worked with hundreds of organizations and developed thousands of leads and millions of dollars of sales.

I am told I have a funny streak. This lead me outlet that into not only weird marketing content, but novels and articles as well.
Teacher
I am focused on building great education technology, techniques, and practices. Growing here to help me achieve more everywhere else.
Musician
I play and write music, sing in choirs, dabble, the whole kit and caboodle. You might even catch me playing a little guitar on the street.
Husband and Father
I have two amazing teenage boys and positively awesome wife who supports our businesses and family with an unsurpassable vigor.
Pastor
I am growing into my role as a youth pastor, and working on a district wide license and learning to help kids grow.
Caring World Changer
Philanthropist is not the right word. I want to make the world a better place, whatever it takes. I want to work, not to pay for my mistakes.

Make Your Future a Priority.
I certainly will. I am here to help.
A Little More About Me…
At heart I am a strategist. I like big plans. I excel at creating a vision with new ideas and sharing that vision with others. I am much more than that though. I am detail oriented and love to dig into the tactics. I lead teams of amazing people to implement the things necessary to realize a vision and motivate them to do great work. I study history constantly and look for ways that it can translate into lessons we can use today. As I always say, “a journey into the future often starts best with a look into the past.”
Why Grand Junction?
I came to Grand Junction, CO to effect a lifestyle change for my family. 15 years in the Phoenix area, and we were burned out (perhaps literally at 115+ degrees in the Summer). Our kids never went outside, we didn’t know our neighbors, and a one to two-hour commute had become common, meaning we often spent as much time in the car as we did with family. We came here looking for a family first life and found it. Grand Junction has everything we need (and four seasons to boot).
My True Passion
My real passion is helping people and companies overcome problems with marketing, sales, growth, and technology. I’ve set the goal of reducing business failures in the United States by creating products and services that benefit small businesses, medium businesses, and startups – and most importantly the people and families behind them. I am also a member of the Colorado Chapter of Infragard, a joint effort between private business and FBI aimed at fighting cybercrime in the United States.
In the Heart of Main Street
My wife Victoria and I try to be involved in the community and own a retail store called Toasted Pixie on Grand Junction’s beautiful and historic Main Street. I’m sure there is more that I can do, but I keep myself busy. We try to share our space with up and coming new businesses and makers in the retail space, so we can share some of our good fortune and create opportunities for people. If you are in retail or are a make get in touch, I would love the opportunity to work with you.
In this world you’re either growing or you’re dying so get in motion and grow.

Beauty in Nature
At my company, DEVUPP, we decided lifestyle was one of the most important factors we could offer our staff. Two years ago I lived in the Phoenix. It was busy, I spent a great deal of my day in the car communiting one place or another, and I hardly knew anyone on my...
Always the IT Guy
The Background Before I started my career, like many who came before me and many who will come after, I did a lot of dabbling with computers when I was young. I lived before the days of the Internet as we know it now, and computers were very different. As a youth, I...
Seven Years to Seven Figures
I’ve just finished reading Seven Years to Seven Figures by Michael Masterson. I’ll start by saying that I went in expecting a disappointing read based on reviews on Amazon, but found myself walking away with good information after some good introspection led by the...
