Vice President of Partner Success – Dental
Brian is a perfect representation of the Arthur | Marshall philosophy of leadership. First of all he has a documented 12 year history of success with literally thousands of health care clients and candidates as both a Physician Recruiter and Business Development Consultant.
Second and equally important is that his professional history has created hundreds of relationships which have enabled him to positively impact not just Physicians and candidates but also hospitals, systems, FQHC’S, clinics et al.
As a Physician Recruiter and most recently the Regional Vice President of Partner Success for Arthur | Marshall, Brian feels blessed with the opportunity to serve others. He takes pride in helping guide an industry into the next generation. Given the astonishing, and growing, national, physician supply and demand dilemma, and having helped improve access to care for thousands of communities across the country, Brian considers himself at the forefront of providing a vital public service.
Having earned a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences as a pre-med student at Auburn University, Brian, ultimately, chose not to pursue medicine. He ended up pursuing the opportunity to still work with physicians and healthcare executives throughout the US. Brian has thrived in a career revolving around healthcare business development, recruiting, and consulting since 2008.
On a personal note, Brian is the middle of 5 children. His father was the first General Surgeon and Chief of Surgery in Roswell, GA. This has allowed him to witness the evolution and transformation of healthcare from numerous perspectives. Brian met his wife of 15 years while attending Auburn, and they are the proud parents of an amazing son and beautiful daughter. Outside of his professional life, he treasures time with his family and their 60-pound lap dog, a Saint Berdoodle. Brian also enjoys playing and watching sports, particularly Auburn football and the Atlanta Falcons.
