Brian Farnsworth

Director of Technical Services, Bomanite Group International

Brian has always been involved in concrete. When he was 14 years old he organized his first concrete pour. Working with local ready mix companies and a group of Boy Scouts he was able to execute his first ready mix flatwork pour. This was a service project to obtain the rank of Eagle Scout. It was this project where he developed his love for concrete.

Brian has a strong background in imprinted concrete cementitious toppings, pervious systems and precast work. Currently he is Director of Technical Services for Bomanite Group International. He has conducted Architectural Concrete Trainings all over the United States and in 9 different countries. His favorite part of his job is the responsibility to oversee the research and development of new decorative systems and products. He has always loved playing in the mud. As with many in the decorative concrete industry he owes much of his knowledge to three individuals that he considers mentors and friends. Terry Grimble currently with Bomanite USA, Chris Sullivan with Chem. Systems Inc. and Matt Casto his current boss at Bomanite International.

Brian loves being a part of the Concrete Network Family. His desire is to help share with the architectural concrete community the beauty of International Decorative Concrete.
