Bryan Davies
President
As the founding member of the Custom Power Generation team, Bryan has been passionately involved in all aspects of the company's development since inception. His Senior Leadership roles in both Sales and Management span over 20 years in the power-gen industry, with an unrivalled passion for all things power. His incredible team can count on at least one work-related text from Bryan on the weekends, and they somehow find a way in their hearts to forgive him. He truly believes that people and culture are what make a great company! Bryan holds a Interprovincial Journeyman Parts Technician Certificate and has completed the Electrical Theory Trades Certification program at Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT).
When Bryan isn't thinking about power generation, you can find him training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, camping, mountain biking, or fly-fishing with his wife and two sons. His inner artisan shines brightest when he's creating home-made soaps, hand-tied fishing flies, or the absolute craftiest of craft home- brews.
