About Raynor Smith

I love solving problems that are not supposed to be solvable. There’s nothing I like better than a complex challenge others might not even tackle because it’s too hard. I’ve always thought of myself as an engineer, but when I joined Brady, I realized that by solving customer problems, I had technically always been in sales. My job is to successfully connect business results to building performance. It’s really that simple.
