Brian Gangawer

I'm originally from New Jersey, where I attended Rutgers University and received my Bachelor of Science in Economics with a Marketing minor. I volunteer at the local animal shelter to work with surrendered and rescued dogs, I enjoy relieving stress in the gym, and love training for, and competing in, obstacle course races. I'm also an avid "foodie" with my personal local favorites being the Rustic Italian Pasta at Ethos Vegan Kitchen and Valkyrie Donuts' Oreo Bombs (if you haven't tried them you're missing out). My wife Jennifer and I have 4 daughters, ages 17, 14, 13, and 10, and 3 dogs; a Doberman Pinscher named Sadie, a German Shepherd named Max, and a rescued Boxer/Pit Bull mix named Bubba. Those children (hairy ones included) are the focus of, and motivation for, everything that we do. I owned and managed a successful branch of a residential mortgage company, until 2008, when the market collapsed. We relocated to Florida in 2009, not knowing anyone here, and haven't looked back since!
