Profile: Brian Vickery

I love my wife and two daughters. I am blessed in that I also love my job as a principal and EVP of the Rocky Mountain Region for Mantis Technology Group. I am very excited about our Pulse Analytics SaaS offering for social media monitoring, sentiment analysis and engagement. I enjoy teaching just about anything and coaching judo, tennis and soccer. I graduated UT-Austin. I've discovered that I like to write, so I look forward to your comments on blog posts.
