Brian Hastings

Brian began his career at the Timken Corp upon graduating from the University of Toledo in 2002 with a mechanical engineering degree. As he worked through positions in engineering, sales, and product management, he was given opportunities to travel globally and discovered his true passion – business development. In 2009, he departed Timken for Brad Foote Gear Works where he gained a significant appreciation for high quality and customer service. In 2010, he and Bruce Neumiller co-founded Gearbox Express. Its investors challenged him to expand his business development ability into the world of finance, and he has worn the hat of CFO since.
