I live in the great state of North Carolina at the base of the Appalachian Mountains. I&#8217;ve been here for the last 10 years or so. But I was born and raised in Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I work in the technology and innovation space. For the last 25 years, I&#8217;ve been helping companies innovate through the use of technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means any way that we can take any kind of process and make it better by applying some piece of tech, some software, some app, that&#8217;s our goal, our name <presto-timestamp time=\"0:36\"><strong>Protovate<\/strong> is based off the idea of <strong>prototyping and innovation<\/strong><\/presto-timestamp>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our specialty, my personal specialty is really taking some kind of concept that you have, that you haven&#8217;t really thought out too much, or maybe early stages and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protovate.com\/rapid-prototyping.html\">rapidly moving that into a prototype<\/a> in a way that we can envision it, get our hands on it, touch it, feel it, see if the market is going to accept it, see whether or not it&#8217;s going to help people. It&#8217;s really a rewarding space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because I get to see a lot of new ideas, I get to meet a lot of new people. And my favorite part is that and some people find this really daunting is that I get to become an expert in a lot of industries. Right now we&#8217;re working in clinical trials. And I&#8217;ve had to learn so much about clinical trials that I didn&#8217;t know a few years before. Every new venture is a deep dive into a new industry, I really find that interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian\u2019s early internet research and pioneering work with NASA, GlobalCrossing, and Microsoft set him on a path that has manifested in award-winning products and technologies on behalf of the world\u2019s top-tier organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9870,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[135,137,139,162,138],"tags":[145,143,144,146,127,142],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9855"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9855"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9855\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10156,"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9855\/revisions\/10156"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protovate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
