I worked with Brian at Synchrony. He was the best co-worker in the world and even better friend. Whenever I’d see him we would joke around on who had on the coolest socks. We both went separate ways a few years ago, but maintained contact checking up on one another ever few months. Brian was a genuine, honest and funny guy. No matter who you were he always treated you as if you were family. I’m going to miss him, but will always remember the positive impact he had on my life. — with Vince Hinton

Brian was a great neighbor and great guy. I had the pleasure of serving with him on the Board of the Trovare community and he worked tirelessly to make our home and Newport Coast a better place. His intelligence, experience, personality, and presence will be sorely missed. Sincere condolences to Jeannie and all his loved ones.

Brian was one of my favorite co-workers that I've had throughout my career. I worked directly with Brian at Synchrony and we ate a lot of dinners and attended a lot of meetings together as we traveled for the company. He was definitely the best restaurant selector I have every known! I joined Wells Fargo a couple of years ago and was able to continue to interact with Brian here at Wells which was awesome. I reached out to Brian often for career advice and to catch up. He was the type of person that knew how to treat other people and was well respected by all. He will be greatly missed.

Brian was so special to so many of us at Wells. For me, he was my sounding board of reason. We worked through some very difficult challenges and deadlines at work and every step of the way he remained calm, thoughtful and was always making me laugh, even when I wanted to scream :) He was a great friend who I could always rely on and I am so grateful to have him as my friend. He challenged me and expanded my thinking on topics at work and outside of work. I already miss him a lot. To his family and loved ones - my daily prayers and thoughts are with you. Hugs to all of you,

With all my love,

Krissie (Brian always called me that because he knew my family and friends outside of work never call me Kristin...I am Krissie to them :) )

I consider myself lucky that I had, an albeit brief, opportunity to work closely with Brian. Even so, I will always consider him a good friend. Always empathetic, always positive and always supportive. Truly Brian saw the good in everyone, and everyone saw the good in Brian. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Brian or BDAM as he like to sign his emails :-) was a great man to work for and it was an honor to get to know over the last 4 years. He was bright, funny, hard working, level headed, a teacher and always motivating! He made a huge positive impact on my life. Please accept my dearest and most sincere condolences.
