After moving to California, Brian built College Works California, a student run leadership experience where students are mentored to run their own company. Brian led these students in their first experience of sales, marketing, and employee management. Hundreds of students from over 20 campuses in California successfully created and ran their first business under Brian’s leadership. College Works California grew close to an average of 50% per year and was acquired in September 2013.

Brian then started Grow Team, which is the first company to create a national network of vetted service companies in the online marketing space.
