Bio
Trey Cozic
Brian is one of the smartest, hardest-working, and most consistently well-prepared people I know--and his astronomical GPA serves as proof. What his GPA can't tell you is that he is one of the most personable people you will ever meet. I have known him nearly 4 years, and in that time I have never heard a negative or even indifferent word spoken about him. I've seen him put in some insane hours to solve a difficult problem, and he has, on multiple occasions, helped explain topics that were proving difficult for me. Brian was a great classmate and a pleasure to work with when he came through my lab.
Mike Cole
Brian is an extremely effective communicator with a passion for software development that is only surpassed by his willingness to help others. He is disciplined, polite, always pulls his weight, and has a great sense of humor. I would recommend him to anyone looking to add a bright and ambitious team player to their organization!
