About Bryan
As a third generation business owner, Bryan knows first-hand the unique issues facing family businesses. The blending of FAMILY and BUSINESS is seldom easy or simple. Bryan is someone that has both gone through generational transition with his family and implemented succession strategies with his coaching clients.

He also enjoys reading, motorcycling, downhill skiing, and is an active member of his church. Bryan and his wife, Darcy, have been married for 34 years. Their daughter, Alexandria, lives with her husband and son in Tennessee. Their son, David, lives with his wife and daughter and is a medical technician with the Canadian Armed Forces in Ontario.
