About Brian My name is Brian Parnes. I am a 2007 graduate of the University of Cincinnati. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Design from the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP). Since then I started work at Downlite International, a Cincinnati, OH based manufacturing firm. I started in the design and ecommerce department, and subsequently moved to the company's Sourcing department. In Sourcing I have worked with suppliers across the globe to procure raw materials at great prices, as well as make sure materials flow into the company on-time for production. In late 2010, I made a shift back to the world of I.T., where I originally began my school career. I took over the I.T. department as the Director of MIS, reporting directly to the company's CEO. In late 2009, I decided to go back to school to get a Masters degree. I started at the University of Cincinnati in the MBA program, but quickly moved to the joint MBA/MS-IS program. In mid-2011 I graduated with a Masters in Business Administration. I am slated to graduate in mid-2012 with a Masters of Science in Information Systems. Throughout my school and professional career, I have also maintained a steady flow of freelance work and pursued personal interests. In 2006 my first novel, Mad River, was published. I have also recently finished my second novel, and am actively seeking an agent for publication. |
