Weaver
Experience
Engineering & Business
Bryan graduated from University of Florida Industrial
and Systems Engineering program in 1985. His first position
after graduation was as a sales and project engineer for
Layne-Western, one of the largest industrial water suppliers
in the country. He was introduced to the business of construction,
engineering and business development during these years.
Prior to earning his BS in engineering, Bryan graduated
from the University of South Florida with a bachelor's
degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in
marketing. It was not until years later that the marketing
background really became valuable as North American Business
Development manager, for Hirata Engineering, a large Japanese
international automation company. It is often difficult
to separate the business aspect from the engineering roles,
as many of the positions overlapped.
While working for Hirata, Bryan became well schooled
in international business, international construction
and worked extensively in maquiladoras serving companies
such as Sony, Philips, Matsushita, Thomson, JVC and many
others.
