Brian received his Masters of Architecture degree from the University of Washington in 2002. He began working at Miller Hull as a part-time student intern during school and continued on fulltime soon after graduation. Bringing a strong sense of design to projects and a passion for buildings that are finely tuned to their regional and climatic influences, Brian has led the design of a wide variety of project types ranging from small homes and island retreats to large urban infill multifamily mixed use projects. Brian has also focused on large institutional projects such as a new building for the University of California San Diego's Structural and Materials Engineering department.

Brian is currently leading the performance based design effort on the Cascadia Center for Sustainable Design and Construction. This six-story, 50,000sf building will produce 100% of its annual energy budget with a rooftop photovoltaic array and capture 100% of its annual water needs with rooftop rainwater collection. The project utilizes a heavy timber frame due to its proven ability to stand the test of time and its low embodied energy content. The building is projected to be the most energy efficient commercial building in the world and meet the highest benchmark in sustainable design, the Living Building Challenge.
