ABC's Technical Solutions Team is composed of engineers, technicians, and support personnel who focus on sourcing and providing new technologies that improve customer operations.

"My department's job is simple, we are here to serve the needs of our customers and bring back solutions, not excuses,” Nelson said. “We focus on getting resolutions to our customers, and as a distributor, we are not constrained by manufacturer limitations. We take great pride in bringing the voice of the customer to all of our manufacturers.”

A veteran of innovative solutions, ABC said Nelson has focused on fulfilling customer needs through team collaboration and a hands-on approach in his previous roles as a staff engineer and sales engineer. 

Most recently as the engineering director/manager, Nelson led a team of engineers and technicians providing full life cycle project handling to coordinate, validate, and deploy the best possible solutions based on the problems and details specified by users, clients, as well as market demands.

"ABC has a commitment to providing our customers with a competitive advantage through innovative technology", said Roman Cornell, president/CCO of ABC Companies. "Brian's experience, teamwork, execution of product vision, and passion for serving our customers are helping us change the future of our industry."
