Brian is an avid skater with over 25 years in construction, the last 18 of those specializing in skateparks. Having worked at 3 of the largest skatepark companies on the planet, he was deeply inspired to do better. He started Radius to provide better value for his fellow skaters, “more skatepark for the same cost”, to the communities he works in, via an efficient business structure & construction methodology. He is a strong believer in a “hands on” business management approach, spending roughly 80% of each construction project working on-site with our crew. His ability to analyze a site & local material costs allows him to create efficient, cost-effective project approaches, maximizing your budget, minimizing waste & inefficiencies through early collaboration with our designers.
