About Brian
Keynote Speaker | Coach | Consultant
My Story
Being raised by a Marine, particularly one who saw combat, comes with many upsides and quite a few challenges. As I reflected on my father’s life and our relationship, I realized who I am, and the success I’ve had in business and life, is due in large part to the discipline he instilled in me. Although I did not serve, Semper Fi is as much a part of me as is my father’s DNA. Whatever I’ve undertaken in life, I’ve remained faithful to the finish. This has been particularly evident in my career, as a business owner, husband, father, and friend.

"Because my dad is a Marine – it’s never 'was a Marine', not even in death – I know he would be proud of this book. He would have done anything to help a fellow Marine or a Marine’s family. That’s Semper Fi. I believe that knowing he continues to help his brothers and sisters in The Corps well beyond his time on Earth brings him joy as he looks at us from above."
