If you were to ask Briant about his most notable project or accomplishment, he would be hard pressed to define a single project or achievement that defines his career. For Briant, his years of experience has been about a process of learning, mentoring and leading project teams that emphasizes the strengths of each participant by embracing their role and how they can impact the design and resulting built environment to greatest benefit of the owner and our communities.
