Bio
A native of Newport News and a graduate of the University of Virginia, Brian pursued a career in commercial real estate with no industry connections. Starting his career at Drucker and Falk, LLC, he dove into the field headfirst, learning the ropes through trial and error. He quickly gained experience across all asset classes in the Hampton Roads area. From retail and office to industrial and land, Brian’s exposure to the full spectrum of commercial real estate was invaluable, and each deal became a stepping stone to the next.

As his expertise grew, Brian transitioned to Colliers International, where he expanded his reach by working more closely with corporate real estate clients, furthering his knowledge and depth in commercial real estate. His focus shifted toward larger, more complex transactions, allowing him to refine his skills in both leasing and sales. This experience not only strengthened his ability to navigate intricate deals but also positioned him as a trusted advisor for corporate clients seeking tailored solutions. Through this work, Brian developed a reputation for delivering results in a competitive market, building a solid client base and forming lasting relationships across the industry.

Brian eventually joined Hamner Development, drawn by the firm’s reputation for success and its innovative approach to commercial real estate. With his experience spanning multiple asset classes and over a decade of transactions, Brian brings a diverse skill set and a commitment to putting clients first.
