Brian began his career early by acquiring an internship from a Licensed Architect as soon as he graduated from high school and worked throughout college.  Several architecture-related scholarships were awarded to him through his education.  He was the AIAS Chapter President for The College of San Mateo and the University of California at Berkeley.  As a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, he worked numerous years and was promoted to a Project Team Leader in several blitz builds.  He worked as a residential designer for a time and contracted with several projects on the peninsula.  To round out his experience, he chose to work for a structural engineer, a civil engineer and a general contractor for a few years.  He is familiar with computer aided design and drafting and converted many of his former employers from hand drafting to take advantage of technology.

Brian has been with The Kastrop Group since 2004 and manages many of our residential and commercial projects.  He has been promoted to Project Manager and is involved in all projects from the initial potential client meeting, through the design and construction documents phase and also construction administration. He participates in 100% of the office workload from sole management to peer-to-peer plan checking and review. He is construction detail oriented and with an emphasis on cost sensitivity and construction practicality. His project type experience is varied and he enjoys a wide spectrum of challenges.  To further his education he has enrolled in the Building Inspection classes at The College of San Mateo to expand his breadth of knowledge and network.  He has passed all the parts of the ARE (Architectural Registration Exam) and is currently studying for the CSE (California Supplemental Exam) to obtain his California Architect’s License.
