In Brian’s spare time, he is acquiring the necessary hours and studies towards his private pilot’s license.  On weekends, he can often be found on the Gulf Coast and its inlets in Southwest Florida, on his boat “Margarita Journey” – exploring with his wife, daughter (when she is home visiting from Baylor University) and son.  Brian is a prayerful entrepreneur and has always put God first in his life and in his business. He enjoys traveling, hiking and exploring; and is on a joint mission with his wife Kandi to find the world’s perfect margarita.  He loves a good Cuban cigar, a good faith-based book and a good, bold European beer, preferably all at the same time.  His favorite quote (that his children often get tired of hearing) is “It’s all about the journey.”

Brian believes in volunteering and giving back to the community.  He often volunteers time or resources to faith-based youth organizations, Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House Charities and Fresh Well Water Charities.
