A veteran on the Lushin team, Brian is a strong sales management consultant who connects with his clients using a direct—sometimes sarcastic—communication style. His favorite piece of advice: Stop doing that. He helps clients eliminate unproductive behaviors to make way for action that drives results. Brian thrives on the daily opportunity to positively impact people’s lives—both professional and personal.
In his sales management training, Brian aims to provide clarity for his clients. He wants people to learn what they need to do and gain the confidence to do it. His goal is to help them find their swagger. His video on sales coaching techniques is one of our most popular.
A licensed pilot and backyard grill-master, Brian also lends a hand when his family shows cows around the country.

Bryan Ferry, President and Owner of Integrated Modular Construction
April 22, 2021
Bryan is excited with the advancements in construction particularly off site construction and the savings and speed it provides. He is a strategic business leader who believes in turning ideas into reality,
Bryan started Integrated Modular Construction (INMOD) to be the leader in permanent modular solutions in the Midwest. Permanent modular refers to any portion of a structure, including complete building, enclosures, etc. that are constructed off-site, transported to and then installed on-site. Similar "stick-built" structures, permanent modular buildings must meet all local building codes and requirements
Using Integrated Modular Construction can decrease a project's construction completion time to sometimes in half, allowing the tenant to move-in months before what a traditional build could do.
