My Story

Since 1988, Brian has built and led Home Painters Toronto, one of Canada’s most recognized residential painting companies. The company has served more than 17,000 homeowners while earning numerous consumer choice and service excellence awards for customer satisfaction and business excellence. Brian has also achieved Infusionsoft’s Small Business ICON in 2015 exemplifying  entrepreneurial innovation and growth.

He also previously served as EO Toronto Forum Chair, leading one of EO’s largest forum communities, and was recognized with the EO Warrior Award for his leadership and contribution.

Brian has been trained in Forum 2.0 and has practiced, moderated, and coached using the Forum 2.0 methodology for several years. Through his regional and global leadership roles, he has collaborated with many of EO’s leading Forum experts, trainers, product leaders, and professional staff to help shape, refine, and launch several of EO’s premier Forum products, moderator development programs, and member engagement initiatives.

Over the past four years, Brian has personally moderated and participated in Forum experiences with more than 300 EO members across Canada and internationally through Forum Mashups and other initiatives, giving him deep exposure to diverse chapter practices, member dynamics, and facilitation styles.

Brian has co-facilitated moderator trainings, Forum Workshops, leadership workshops, and Moderator Summits, developed forum playbooks, coached moderators, and helped chapters create stronger, more transformational forum experiences.

Brian’s facilitation style is energetic, authentic, practical, and highly interactive. He creates safe environments where entrepreneurs build deeper relationships, gain new perspectives, and experience lasting personal and professional growth.
