Brian Brinker, Jr. brings decades of hands-on experience and industry knowledge to his role as Vice President. He began his career in the terrazzo trade at nineteen as an apprentice and steadily advanced through the ranks, earning recognition for his work ethic, technical skill, and leadership. After years of working closely with Mr. Yorie, Brian became a shareholder in 2013. Throughout his career, he has remained committed to developing others, personally training many of the company’s foremen and field personnel.

Brian is widely respected for his expertise in field operations and currently serves on the Technical Committee of the National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association (NTMA), where he contributes to the development of industry standards and installation guidelines. He has led some of the largest terrazzo projects in the country, including nationally recognized installations requiring complex techniques and advanced craftsmanship.

In his current role, Brian oversees all field operations, working closely with road superintendents to manage workforce planning, scheduling, quality control, and project execution. Known for his efficiency and attention to detail, he ensures that every project is completed safely and to the highest standards.

Reflecting on both T. Yorie Corp. and the terrazzo industry, Brian notes: “The trade and systems of terrazzo have evolved over the years to adapt to the design community and changing project conditions. However, one thing remains constant: we are contracted to deliver the best possible product while remaining mindful of schedule demands and maintaining an efficient, safe workflow for our crews. I am proud that we have the field personnel, company structure, vendor relationships, and technical knowledge to consistently achieve that goal.”
