I have worked with Brian for several years. First as a Store Manager with ever increasing responsibility until his current position as a Regional VP. Brian possesses the rare quality of real leadership. His people respect him and are fiercely loyal. He has achieved and sustained superior results not by driving his managers but by leading and inspiring them. Not surprising he has been a excellent partner to my position as an HR Professional during some difficult Associate issues. I would recommend Brian for any Executive level positon.
