Brian Phair

CEO | Managing Principal

Brian serves as PCS’s CEO and brings energy and vision for PCS as a single-discipline Northwest firm. A tenured Structural Engineer who grew up pounding nails and received a second major in Architecture, he is passionate about people and great architecture, and he thrives in the challenge of finding creative solutions that support his clients’ visions. Organizationally astute, Brian is generally two steps ahead of any challenge and demonstrates the collaborative spirit that is central to PCS’s culture and service. Brian is inspired when staff are excited and teams are collaborating and having fun.
