After a period of reflection, Brian decided to pivot from academic pursuits to entrepreneurial ventures, laying the groundwork for his own IT firm. He initially offered his expertise as an independent contractor, which paved the way for the inception of ITECH Solutions in 2005.

Embracing a Microsoft-centric philosophy, Brian now dedicates his expertise to the creation of a Dynamics 365 ERP system, meticulously engineered for Managed Service Providers and enterprise IT divisions.

He helps small businesses like himself: members of the Fortune 5,000,000.  With the Fortune 5,000,000 he has a real shot at making a real impact.That's more satisfying work to him.He's proud to help his clients learn how to build a "calm company".
