Born in Akron, Ohio, Brian first started building as an adolescent inspired by his late father Harold Bragg. Brian's first attempt at building was constructing dog houses and selling them for extra money. As Brian became older, his father would take him to work during the summer when school was out. This not only became a time to learn his trade but a wonderful mentoring session from his father as
well. At the age of 15, Brian and his family left Ohio and moved to Gastonia, North Carolina. After graduating high school in Gastonia, Brian worked with his father until he joined the Army. Once Brian got out of the Army, he moved to Clover, SC and continued in the construction business. For approximately five years, he worked in production and maintenance for a paper manufacturing plant. However, Brian is not happy unless he is busy constructing or remodeling things, and therefore went back into the construction business. Later, he received his commercial/residential general contractor's license for both North and South Carolina. While Brian does a great deal of the labor himself, he does subcontract out some work under his supervision such as: brick work, concrete work, electrical and plumbing, and sometimes roof work. He is very serious about quality workmanship; which if you were to ask anyone he works with, they would tell you the same thing. He will not hold back when he thinks something is not being done to his standards, which are very high. He can be very outspoken, straightforward and will, respectfully. He is guided by his conscience, and will not take advantage of anyone to make a buck!
