Brok was always highly communicative and worked to put the customer first while balancing a wide array of needs and requirements. Brok was also always trying to think about what customers actually need versus want in order to improve the reach and market of dRofus. He and I had lots of great conversations about how best to support our customers while working to improve the product.

Brok was one of the people who made the strongest impression on me early in my time at dRofus. He always had a drive for growth and change, and a generosity in sharing it. There was always something in motion. What I remember most, though, is his calm, his clarity, and a presence that felt rare. You could tell he was actually there with you in the conversation. That kind of impression leaves a mark. I’ll carry the memory of working with Brok.

If you are looking for a technical leader who has first-hand experience in the AEC domain, look no further. Brok has both the technical knowledge and firsthand domain experience - something that is hard to come by. I appreciate his willingness to talk through what is going on in the industry and our observations in the product space.

I worked closely with Brok, particularly after he transitioned from Customer Success into the Product team at dRofus. He picked up the nuances of building complex software so fast, you'd think he'd been a Product Manager all along. That speed of learning let him make decisions that delivered real value to our customers, while always factoring in the underlying technical complexity. Brok has a knack for innovation, and he follows through by coming up with concrete plans, spotting blockers three steps ahead, and leading the execution himself. If you're looking for someone who can make an impact across functions, I'd recommend Brok without hesitation.

I’ve known Brok for nearly a decade, and in that time he’s gone from an industry acquaintance to a close friend and a mentor to me. That progression says everything about who he is: the more you work with Brok, the more you want him in your corner. He’s a trusted advisor across the AEC technology community, with rare range. He’s practiced architecture, led BIM and design technology at a global firm, and shaped product strategy at dRofus, so he understands both sides of the software conversation: what practitioners actually need and what it takes to build it. He shares that knowledge generously, whether on a conference stage or in a one-on-one conversation.

I’ve known Brok Howard since 2015 and had the opportunity to work with him at HOK, where he served as Firmwide Design Technology Manager. I have stayed connected with him since then and continue to value his perspective as a design technology leader. He brings technical depth, practical product thinking, technical storytelling, and a strong understanding of how the AEC industry plans and delivers projects of any size and complexity. What also stands out is his ability to make complex technical ideas accessible to diverse audiences. I highly recommend Brok to any team looking for leadership at the intersection of architecture, technology, BIM, and digital transformation.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Brok Howard across a range of initiatives, from product content development to exploring and implementing new ideas across dRofus. Brok consistently brings a thoughtful, structured approach to his work, always aligning execution with clear goals and measurable outcomes. What stands out most is his innovative mindset, particularly when it comes to AI. He is not only quick to adopt new technologies but also excels at translating them into practical, high-impact use cases. Beyond his technical strengths, Brok is a fantastic colleague, collaborative, generous with his knowledge, and someone who genuinely elevates the people around him. I’ve learned a great deal from working with him and would highly recommend him to any team looking for a forward-thinking and dependable professional.

As an aspiring curator of thought leadership in the AECO industry, I was lucky to cross paths with Brok 10+ years ago. He was and is one of the most intentional leaders, passionate about making our industry better. Not just with technology but also in practice, through human-centric methods that scale innovations from moon shots, to repeatable successes. Brok has been my go-to innovator to bounce ideas off of, learn from and highlight in my content. His journey from Architect, to innovator, to technology product strategist have not only widened his expertise but it's also sharpened his focus and insights. Something desperately needed as our industry and so many other face disruption by AI. His insights and ponderings are worthy of a podcast. Let me know if you ever want to tackle that, Brok! I'd love to promote it with you!

I've known and worked with Brok for a long time, and I've never found a colleague more willing to help or find a way to get something done. Since I helped found my own company, Brok has been an ally and advisor, advocating for brokering a relationship that continues to yield benefits, because he remains absolutely focused on the needs of customers, understands the industry like few others, and looks for ways that everyone can win.

Through eleven years together, I have seen a journey from architecture via support leadership into becoming one of the most engaged, driven, and skillful product professionals I have ever worked with. Since joining the product team at dRofus, Brok has pushed for professionalism, structure, and truly user‑centric approaches that have elevated both our product and our development team. Above all, Brok is a trusted partner in decision‑making and collaboration. I would gladly work with him again and strongly recommend him for any senior product role where strategic thinking, stakeholder alignment, and product excellence are required.

I first met Brok when he joined HOK IN 2010. We worked closely together on a number of projects, including standardization of Revit templates and staff training. He served as BIM Manager from 2011 to 2013 before moving into the role of Design Technology Specialist, where he led the implementation of dRofus at HOK. Throughout, I saw firsthand the depth of technical knowledge and attention to detail he brought to every project. In 2015, Brok joined dRofus and worked his way up to a Senior Product Manager, a natural next step given his deep familiarity with the software from the implementation side. He has a real talent for not just understanding complex software, but for breaking it down so firms could actually implement it and their staff could use it with confidence. His training was always thorough, patient, and practical, which made a real difference for the teams he worked with. Brok combines strong technical expertise with the rare ability to communicate it clearly, and any organization would be fortunate to have him on their team.

Brok uniquely combines his architectural expertise with a forward-thinking vision of how technology can drive innovation in the building industry. His deep knowledge and experience were evident when I first met Brok while he was at HOK, then again while he was at dRofus and we have the opportunity to collaborate on a series of projects where he led a holistic integration of the technology for the owner. Brok is a great industry resource that I continue to enjoy connecting with at conferences and learning from.

Brok and I worked together for a few years while at an architectural firm in St. Louis, MO. I was a Principal at the firm and he was a young architect who was very talented and ambitious. Always keenly interested in how technology can make architecture and the architectural process better, Brok was an innovator. We worked on a large industrial project together and he created a new and more efficient way to do construction administration using technology. In addition to being a skilled architect and technologist, Brok is a pleasure to work with.

I have known Brok since his days as a BIM Manager at HOK and our paths seem to be ever crossing. You know almost immediately that he is a man with a sharp mind, excellent skills, and strong industry knowledge... it's just who he is and that impression doesn't stop when you get to know him, the reality is reinforced. I recommend Brok, because I know the person and I have seen many times what he is capable of.

It speaks volumes when you’ve been using a product for 13 years, but it’s even more impressive when you’ve worked with the same client manager for nearly that entire journey. Brok took me from a novice to a power user through patient, one-on-one coaching, tailored guidance, and an uncanny ability to meet me where I was technically. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to master advanced workflows, he’s an exceptional trainer who makes complex concepts approachable and practical. What truly sets Brok apart, though, is that he has never approached our relationship as a salesperson. His focus has always been on helping me and my organization get the greatest possible value from the software. He equipped me with strategies to demonstrate ROI to leadership, helped optimize our workflows, and rescued me more than once from what felt like catastrophic mistakes. Working with Brok feels less like working with a vendor and more like having a trusted partner who is genuinely invested in your success.

Brok has been a massive support for me since I started a year ago. I’d describe him as innovative, highly structured and incredibly well prepared. He’s a very approachable colleague who both listens and constructively challenges your thinking - exactly what you’re looking for in a great PM.

I had the privilege of working alongside Brok from December 2021 through June 2026. When I joined dRofus, I stepped into his previous role while he transitioned into a Product Manager position. Brok played a key role in onboarding me and bringing me up to speed on the platform, despite me having no prior experience with dRofus. It quickly became clear that Brok possesses an exceptional depth of knowledge - not only of dRofus, but of the BIM industry as a whole. He was consistently my go-to resource for technical questions, and I relied heavily on his expertise throughout our time working together. Brok brings a well-rounded skill set that spans account management, software implementation, product strategy, and technical support. One of Brok’s greatest strengths is his ability to simplify complex concepts and communicate them in a clear, approachable way. While I am sad to see him leave dRofus, I am confident he will make a significant impact wherever he goes, and any organization would benefit from his expertise and professionalism.

Brok and I worked together at dRofus, and I can confidently say he is one of the most outstanding colleagues I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He brings a rare combination of professionalism, dedication, and a genuinely positive attitude to everything he does. Brok knows when to bring energy, humor, and team spirit into the room, and when to focus deeply and deliver high-quality results. He is reliable, hard-working, and someone you can always count on—both as a professional and as a teammate. Working with him has been a truly rewarding experience. I highly recommend Brok!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Brok at dRofus for more than 12 years, and over that time he has consistently shown a strong work ethic and real dedication to his role. One of Brok’s greatest strengths is his ability to explain things clearly, even when the subject is complex. He has a natural way of making complicated topics easy to understand, which makes him a valuable resource for both technical and non-technical colleagues. As a product manager, Brok has been excellent at connecting the dots between development and customer success. He understands both sides well and plays an important role in keeping everyone aligned, making sure the product meets both technical requirements and customer needs. Brok is someone you can rely on, and he brings both professionalism and a collaborative mindset to everything he does. I would happily recommend him to any team looking for a strong and approachable product manager.

Brok has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to AEC tech! With decades of experience, I knew I could always go to Brok for any questions I had regarding the industry and/or our product. Brok is always thinking three steps ahead and is passionate about a good workflow and process. His goal is always to look for ways of improving the experience not only for the customers, but also for his teammates. He is also one of the most articulate people that I know. Being able to clearly explain ideas and expectations. I highly recommend Brok and know he will excel in any role he takes on!

Brok and I have worked together for 11+ years, him first on the customer success side and me in development. For a period, we both were part of the product team - him as a product manager, and me to represent the technical side. He has consistently been thoughtful, organized, and a voice for a more structured way of doing product planning, among other things, implementing Jira Product Discovery in the organization. He has always been good at looking outside our organization for ideas that make sense for us, and working to apply them there. Being a small organization, we all have to wear several hats, and outside the direct product role, we've several times cooperated on more QA related work - especially in our plugin to Autodesk Revit - easily one of the most complex parts of the system we build. His background as a BIM specialist, and in Revit in particular, has been very helpful on more occasions than I can count.

I have the pleasure of having Brok as a colleague at dRofus since he started. I remember when I first met him at AU in Las Vegas back in 2015, and I asked my boss if we could hire him at dRofus; such a super nice person with a sharp mind. Some time later, it became reality, and he has delivered ever since. He's both the friendly, nice colleague you really like chatting with when we meet IRL (sadly not that often since we live on different continents) and, at work, always at the forefront of implementing new technology and methodology at the company.

Brok became the AI champion across our entire group, leading the product community at a moment when most companies were still figuring out where to start. He didn't just adopt AI tools himself; he scaled AI adoption across product management and far beyond it, turning abstract potential into real workflows that teams actually used. That mix of vision and execution is rare. A few things set him apart: He is genuinely world-class at AI adoption and scaling it across functions, not as a side project but as a core way of working. He builds trust instantly. His personal style makes people want to follow his lead, which is exactly what you need to drive change across an organization. He enables others. Brok measures his success by how much better the people around him get, and it shows in the teams he's touched. He combines deep product instinct with hands-on technical curiosity, so he speaks credibly to engineers, designers, and executives alike. Beyond the skills, he's simply someone you want in the room. Likable, steady, and the kind of colleague who raises the bar without ego. Brok has my highest recommendation.

I work with Brok at dRofus, partnering closely on several customer-facing initiatives. Brok is a very sharp product manager who quickly understands complex workflows and can translate them into thoughtful product decisions. When goals and priorities are clearly defined, he brings strong independent judgment and a high bar for quality that leads to meaningful improvements for users and customers.

Working with Brok is just great. He is a professional you can truly trust, and he has a deep understanding of what the market needs. Most importantly, he always delivers on his promises. I highly recommend working with him.

Brok has been a trusted friend, insightful mentor, and fellow technologist since we first met back in San Francisco! His ability to cut through the noise and find the gold in any situation is truly remarkable. Not only does he have such a vast well of battle-tested BIM knowledge and expertise, but he curates solutions tailor-made to delight and inspire his clients. For him it's always about being part of the solution not just pushing any one product. He's absolutely fantastic at getting results that deliver to the bottom line while also maintaining endless optimism and positivity throughout the process. Brok brings a perfect blend of joy and sound judgment to every situation- can't say enough! Count you and your project blessed if you get the chance to have Brok contribute. Cheers!

I have known Brok for over 5 years, and he has been an excellent trainer supporting us on our work in dRofus. He is always excited about new ways of thinking about problems to find solutions that best suit his clients’ workflows. I highly recommend him as a trainer; he brings real value in how he teaches and supports any requests we have for the various modules in dRofus. He is an expert at what he does and has been a reliable resource for everything he does!

Working with Brok in a near-startup, very dynamic company, I found him to be a great support in our common goal of professionalizing how we worked with our customer requirements and support processes in an agile framework. He is positive and forward-leaning, always ready to take the initiative and support the move towards better ways of working.

Brok has done an excellent job making the transition from Architect and BIM expert to a trusted resource in data management industry with demanding customers and complex I.T. infrastructures. He is also an excellent public speaker and, in turn, a mentor to others seeking to stay relevant in this rapidly changing world of construction!

Having Brok as a resource that we can bounce ideas off of when trying new things with dRofus has been a great help. Brok's knowledge and expertise regarding dRofus use and implementation, and related Revit tips and tricks for managing BIM data have been extremely valuable.

I worked with Brok for a few years in the HOK St. Louis office. Brok has extensive knowledge of tools used for BIM and Newforma. Not only is his knowledge extensive, but he also possesses great communication skills, people skills, and is very responsive and patient. He has been a key member in the success of many projects.

I have known Brok for a little over a year, and he has been a great resource. He makes himself available to share his knowledge and insight, which undoubtedly leads to very rich discussions about workflow and creative use of tools. I look forward to continuing to work with him in his new position to strengthen our dRofus implementation and to juggle our thoughts when they get stagnant from time to time!

Brok is a great BIM Manager with strong technical knowledge and great social and communication skills. He helps with finding better and more efficient ways to resolve issues. Overall, Brok has been a great resource.

Having worked with Brok Howard for the past two years, I have found him to be a major source of education and guidance for building information modeling (BIM) and BuildingSMART-related work. He is knowledgeable about the software, the modeling processes, and end use of models in such a way that it often did not matter that he had an architectural background, but he guided engineering efforts. He provides clear instructions and expectations and manages his time well to help as many individuals as possible. He is an enjoyable colleague with leadership ability founded on excellent technical skills.

Brok is very knowledgeable in the field of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Architectural design and production and has proven to be an excellent teacher of both the shared principles of BIM and the specifics of REVIT. He provides clear and organized presentations that make complex programs digestible and provides excellent individual support.

Brok represents the next wave of leadership within the architectural community. It has been a pleasure to work with him as a board member for the Greater St. Louis Construction Specification Institute Chapter. His ongoing commitment and dedication to the growth and support of our association are invaluable. Brok’s work in helping to launch our new website supports our association’s efforts to create an online brand and marketing strategy. Brok is extremely enthusiastic about his work and profession, and I recommend him without hesitation.

Brok was an exemplary employee. He was hard-working and was very good at being self-motivated. He would be an asset to any team and/or project.

Brok is a skilled young Architect, adept at both the design and technical aspects of the profession. He is active in his profession, eager to serve. Brok is a strong proponent of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and has developed his skills in this rapidly advancing technology.I can strongly recommend a relationship with Brok.

Brok is a very positive asset to any team and strives to expand his knowledge base and implement new ideas to make the team function as a single unit. His personal pride in providing "his best" at every task encourages others "to raise the bar".
