    Brian joined the Jacksonville team in 2022 after working with Express in Springfield as an On-Site Manager for one of their largest client companies.  He is originally from Petersburg and a graduate of ISU with a bachelor's degree in Business Management. He is passionate about helping employees who have been through hard times, and giving them that "leg up" they need to better themselves and create a better life for their families. He is a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, enjoys football, watching his daughters' sporting events, and anything Halloween or horror related. He lives in Chatham with his wife and three girls- ages 21, 20, and 12, and their two dogs.
