He was one of the first leaders in the country to recognize the sales talent gap plaguing countless companies and employees alike due to the lack of training in Higher Education and Corporate America.

Brian’s tips and strategic advice has been used by Fortune 500 and start up sales teams where thousands have adopted The Victory Selling System.
“In my 23 years of leading sales teams, Brian is by far the best sales trainer we’ve ever had.”

He’s a recipient of awards for having top Sales Training Programs (Course Report, Built In) and one of the top 200 North American Education Company’s by HolonIQ. Most rewarding though, are the thank you cards that fill his office walls from past students and customers that are mixed in with his most prized possessions, artwork from his 3 young children.

When not running Victory Lap, he’s reading, exploring the best of the midwest with his wife Meghan and 3 young children, taking his kids to school and practices, and making as many Lake Michigan swims throughout the year as possible.
