About Bryan Armentrout
After a successful career in Leading Corporate Food Safety and Quality Assurance, Bryan left Operations and established The Food Leadership Group.
Why would he want to do this? The short answer was to share the knowledge of what he had learned in the past 20+ years with as many people as possible. The benefits of food safety should be available to all.
Bryan has a degree in Cellular Biology and Physiology from the University of Wyoming. He is the past Vice Chair of the SQF Technical Advisory Council and has written a best-selling book on business management.
