Among Brian’s many responsibilities as both a project manager and manager of paving operations is helping to ensure that Superior Bowen’s superintendents have what they need to succeed.

Brian has nearly 30 years of experience in the paving industry and accumulated much of his knowledge through firsthand experience. He started his career running a screed and worked his way up to a superintendent and project manager before joining Superior Bowen in August of 2018, where he’s thrived in what he calls “a really good support system” and a team-oriented company culture. Some people may balk at Brian’s lengthy commute — he drives to Kansas City from St. Joseph every day. And like any good project manager, he puts that time to use by thinking through a particular project issue or simply appreciating what he helped create. “After you build a road, you get to drive on it,” Brian said.
