Brian began his career in community banking, working alongside his father and gaining deep insight into both financial operations and family business dynamics. Starting as a management trainee, he progressed through every department before leading the secondary lending division. During the 2008 financial crisis, he played a critical role in managing distressed loans and ensuring the bank’s stability. He also continued his education earning an MBA from Washington University and a degree from the Graduate School of Banking at LSU. He finished his career in banking as a Vice President and lender.

In 2015, Brian launched his consulting firm, Seed Level Creativity Lab, marking the start of his journey as a serial entrepreneur. In 2016, he cofounded and operated Medici MediaSpace, a thriving coworking space in St. Louis, which he successfully sold in 2018. He also founded the Saint Louis Business Club and multiple other ventures, always maintaining an active consulting and coaching practice. For nearly a decade, Brian has facilitated peer-to-peer advisory teams and masterminds, including work with his mentor Dr. Tom Hill, The Alternative Board (TAB), and TitanCEO.

As a Growth Catalyst at Acumen, Brian is helping spearhead the expansion into the Saint Louis market. As a coach, consultant, and facilitator, he brings nearly two decades of experience in financial services, entrepreneurship, and business leadership to help CEOs and business leaders accelerate growth and navigate complex challenges.
