From Concept Through Impact

Hi, my name is Brian.

As a Partner and leading member of Edgemoor’s two-time P3 Developer of the Year team, I bring clarity and long-range perspective to civic and institutional development projects that shape public life for generations.

I lead complex work that unfolds over many years and demands steady leadership at every step. What matters most is the people you’re walking that journey with and the communities you’re building for.

I remain actively involved from early discussions and planning through design, delivery, and operations — helping teams find practical, durable solutions when funding is tight and the stakes are high.
