At 5 years of age, Brian would venture out to watch his dad work drywall around the local jobsites in the Kansas City area. At age 16, Brian worked some nights after school, weekends and summers to learn the trade of drywall installation.
Brian began working for Star Drywall in 1984. In 1990, the owner of the business at the time, wanted to change career paths and asked if Brian had any interest in purchasing the business. He happily accepted and became the sole owner. In 2003 he expanded the business to include insulation installation and later renamed the business – Star Companies, Inc.
