About 

ENTREPRENEUR, ADJUNCT PROFESSOR, & ARCHITECT-IN-TRAINING
INTRODUCTION 

I am Brian D. Nickel, a graduate of Montana State University's Graduate School of Architecture. Over the past six years, I have proudly served as an educator at both Gallatin College and Montana State University's College of Engineering in Bozeman, Montana. I have taught in-person and remotely, utilizing Microsoft Teams and VR technology to enhance the learning experience with Autodesk products. My unwavering passion and enthusiasm for AEC Technology drive me to educate the future workforce of emerging AEC professionals.

As a speaker, advocate, and collaborator, I have attended several national conferences and worked closely with industry leaders to promote my core design principle - that successful design must emerge from a robust collaboration with the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. In my opinion, design can only achieve greatness by breaking free from individual silos and leveraging multi-disciplinary collaboration.

In pursuit of excellence, I have completed the NCARB Architectural Experience Program Requirements and have commenced studying for licensure. I find inspiration in the wise words of my thesis advisor at Montana State University's Graduate School of Architecture, Jack Smith, FAIA, who once said, "Don't become a tool to the tool." This quote continues to guide my career and reminds me that my work must always be purposeful, impactful, and collaborative.
