Brian founded SNAPin Software, a venture funded start-up in 2003. Prior to starting SNAPin, Brian founded Action Engine, a company that helped define the on-device portal space. In 2000, Brian was named a Computerworld Smithsonian laureate for Action Engine's unique user interface technology, which he developed, and has been successfully deployed with some of the world's largest mobile operators.
Previously, Brian was the Advanced Technology Director for CIBA (now Novartis), where he played a key role in inventing and designing new automated manufacturing processes. Brian’s two passions in life are computers and aircrafts. As Brian approached his twenties, he was introduced to the composite industry by legendary entrepreneur William Lear, who developed the Learjet. During his time at Gates Lear Corporation, Brian was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on the LearFan aircraft, the world’s first inexpensive, mass produced aircraft. Brian began attending the University of Southern California at the age of fifteen, where he studied both business and physics. While at USC Brian won both scientific awards from the National Science Foundation for his research in super-conductors and business achievement awards for his entrepreneurial activities. |
