Instructor bio:

Brian has been in the manufacturing industry since 2012, but truth be told, he’s been a maker his whole life—if it can be built, fixed, or taken apart just to see how it works, he’s probably done it. Starting with a hands-on crash course in servicing industrial CNC machines, Brian quickly dove headfirst into the world of machining, CNC and automation engineering, molding, and just about every form of manufacturing he could get his hands on. With a passion for problem-solving and a knack for turning raw materials into something amazing, Brian loves sharing his knowledge with crafters of all skill levels.
