Brian Buck

Brian Buck lives in Tacoma, Washington and works in Seattle. I have created my blog (http://passthebuck.wordpress.com) to share my professional experience as well as pointing out other interesting things I find across the web, which I hope you find enjoyable and informative. I am new into the world of project management and lean so I will share some of my successes and learning opportunities. I chose the name IMPROVE WITH ME because I coach organizational teams to remove waste and I also want to share (and hear your personal stories if you find this site encouraging) as I try to improve myself everyday. I am happily married to a wonderful woman named Shelley and we are blessed to live near family. I am a man of faith and believe God has a plan and purpose for all of us. Please feel free to contact me at brian@improvewithme.com if you have any questions, suggestions, or ideas. I can also be found on Twitter at http://twitter.com/brianbuck.
