“Brian Browning is a manager unlike any other. Brian is top notch when it comes to dealing with a client’s needs and expectations. I think he often takes a minute to picture himself in the clients shoes and will offer insight that many other managers will not on projects. Brian also has the ability to do a lot of the work that he designates to people on his team, so if you are stuck in a jam or trying to learn something he can occasionally help you. Brian is a one of a kind manager that makes his development team and the customer move through each project with the greatest of ease. I enjoyed working with him for three years and would gladly do it again.” March 17, 2009

From our first meeting, he heard the challenges we were facing at the YMCA. His responses to those challenges were an exact fit.
