About Brian Smith

A seasoned entrepreneur, my mission is to continually grow my businesses into something greater than myself & use my story to inspire others to work hard & remain resilient in the face of adversity. I always put the needs of my customers first & through MedFirst Consulting, deploy thousands of IT healthcare consultants to assist hospital organizations with EHR implementations across the country. I have a unique ability to get things done & make progress on multiple projects in parallel. My employees consider me to be a friendly, insightful manager with an optimistic attitude. My dedication to the healthcare IT industry & attention to customer satisfaction has allowed me to bridge the gap between people & tech, making HIT more accessible & productive for customers. These experiences have helped me build a foundation of success in business development and have paved the way for new opportunities in the service of others. Most recently, I’ve been developing a job training & skill development agency which will help people across the country connect their professional abilities to viable job opportunities. I believe learning can take place anytime, anywhere, & when people take the time to invest in themselves & others, the world becomes a better place. My vision is to encourage & inspire positive action. I want to have a reputation as a productive & sincere team player that puts people to work in cities around the world. When I can encourage others to keep their head up & give their best no matter what, it’s a good day.
