I worked with Brian on a pre-opening as well as many concept tweaks while in Dubai. He is enormously creative, dependable, wise, and very talented. He goes the extra mile to ensure the end- product is of the highest quality while ensuring the financials stay within budget. It was an honor to work with him and hope our paths cross again in the future
