Brian currently works for ECS Capitol Services in Washington, DC as an environmental project manager. His duties include managing the environmental services required for major construction projects and renovation projects in the District of Columbia. These services include Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, Phase II Subsurface Investigations, hazardous materials surveys, asbestos abatement project design and management, and remediation management.
