Brian Mazur: Lessons From a Winner

Production Manager

Get Dwell, Winnetka, Ill.

Age 38

In 2014, Get Dwell’s revenue increased more than 100 percent and the company needed an experienced team player who could manage fast growth and a lot of responsibility. Brian was already a successful project manager, and he jumped at the chance to join the executive management team.

Brian is a professional walleye fisherman and got to the top of his game by not only being able to plan and execute at a high level but by improvising effectively under pressure. His experience leading teams to the winner’s podium has come in handy at Get Dwell, where he has built a team of subcontractors and strategic partners around a solid core of dedicated employees.

A champion fishing tournament is usually won by the lessons learned while pre-fishing. Similarly, for managing remodeling projects, Brian understands that it’s better to have his team thoroughly discuss a job before committing their time inefficiently. A hands-on leader, he is always ready to jump in and go the extra mile not only for the company’s clients but for its subs and employees as well, leading to a dedicated staff and satisfied clients.
