Bryan Melvin, Director l Electrical

Since joining TBA in 2006, Bryan Melvin has steadily advanced to Retail Studio Manager, Associate and now Director through his strong leadership and client management skills.  Much of his success can be attributed to the energy and enthusiasm he brings to the tasks he tackles each day. He has excelled at fostering client relationships with his strong presence at meetings and his extensive travel across the country to hundreds of job sites.  Bryan has successfully managed many clients and programs over the years and provided invaluable mentorship to younger staff and interns.  In addition to these contributions, Bryan has also played an integral role in developing department and company-wide standards and procedures.  We are excited to have Bryan join our talented group of Directors.
