ABOUT US
Since our founding in 1995 as the Southern Arizona Architects and Engineers Marketing Association (SAAEMA), we’ve provided opportunities for our members to learn, grow, and become leaders in our community. In 2018, in response to the changing landscape in the industry, we became BILD: Building Insight, Leadership, and Development. BILD members take advantage of networking opportunities at our mixers, learning at our monthly lunches and workshops, and skill development at our annual Leadership Summit. In addition, we partner with local non-profits for community service and provide a showcase for our member firms’ projects with our twice-yearly project tours. Members can also take advantage of the scholarship program to advance their career education, along with our InDesign and other user groups. See if we’re a fit for your professional goals by attending one of our monthly lunch meetings FREE! Contact us for details.
We’re looking forward to meeting you!

Originally from small-town Arizona– Cornville and Mingus Mountain above the town of Jerome, Brian moved to Tucson in 2006 and attained both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from the University of Arizona. After focusing on geospatial analyses and mapping nonpoint source pollutants in Arizona soils and watercourses, he began his planning career assisting with the master plan for the Marana Heritage River Park. Today, Brian has over 10 years of experience as a planner, project manager, and GIS analyst working in Southern Arizona. He represents a wide range of property owners, developers, and homebuilders in navigating the complexities of the zoning and land use entitlement process, including due diligence, rezoning, plan amendments, use permits, site planning, annexations, and large-scale master plans. Brian is an expert in managing divergent interests to create comprehensive solutions for his clients and the community. He also has experience in general plan preparation and facilitating public meetings and design charrettes to find creative solutions to a broad range of issues with multiple stakeholders.
