Bio
Jane Dewar
I was the first hire under the management team at BOE and as such, I held the lowest position on the "totem pole". Brian treated me with the utmost respect – he is a true professional. He always took the time to answer my questions and educate me on subjects that I didn't fully understand. Brian asked genuine questions, and tried to understand my background and areas of interest. Brian is strong in his convictions; he will voice his concerns where warranted. I have never known Brian to let his personal feelings, or potential office conflict, interfere with his work. Brian is a terrific leader; he cares about people and has a fundamental understanding of building genuine professional relationships, as well as, encouraging growth.
