Brian joined GHP Horwath in 1999 as a senior associate in the Assurance Group. One of his first assignments was working on an extremely complex reverse acquisition for a public company client. This engagement helped to build a foundation for the considerable technical expertise he has now acquired, and also showed his commitment to doing what it takes to get the job done for clients. These are attributes that he carries forward today as a principal. Before joining GHP Horwath, he worked as an audit supervisor at Peterson & Associates. He holds a B.S. in Accounting from Minnesota State University at Mankato.
