England Logistics welcomed Brian to the Supply Chain Management (SCM)<\/a> team in Detroit, MI over eight years ago. He currently serves as the team\u2019s Senior Manager of Customer Service. Learn more about Brian and his experience at England Logistics!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was laid off from my job with Chrysler. My brother, who used to work at England Logistics, told me how much he enjoyed it. I didn\u2019t have any transportation experience, but there was an opportunity to start entry level. It\u2019s been a great experience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The culture is quite different. Everybody\u2019s so friendly and the divisions work well together. I love that we all celebrate together.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Being promoted from a load planner to account manager. I got assigned my first customer, and I continue to work with them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To me, accountability is the most important. If you\u2019re doing what you\u2019re supposed to do, work hard as a team, and celebrate as a team, then accountability falls into place. Your customers will be happy and the company will be happy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n One of my passions is coaching high school sports, which is centered around team. I was excited to see our 2019 theme is team up because success isn\u2019t an individual effort. If you only look at it as an individual, you won\u2019t be as successful.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n My advice would be to come in with an open mind, learn as much as you can, work as hard as you can and success will come.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I like to buy a big jar of dry-roasted peanuts at Costco.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As I mentioned before, I like to coach. Any time I have an opportunity to coach or mentor, I take advantage of that. I love spending time with my son, whether we\u2019re going to the movies, shooting hoops or playing video games.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m a big fan of \u201cSurvivor.\u201d Most recently I\u2019ve also been hooked on \u201cPunisher.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My grandfather is from Italy, so I would love to go visit where he\u2019s from.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I work as hard as I can to be as successful as I can. I get my work ethic from my father, who has inspired me to be successful as I can.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n My schooling. I have a Master of Business Administration in finance and a Master of Science in management. In high school, I did just as much as I needed to get by, so I\u2019m proud of what I\u2019ve accomplished.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Successful people go beyond, they push past the pain. My father always preached this to us. Always believe in yourself. Be willing to work harder than the next person. Do what they aren\u2019t willing to do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was asked to join the Logistics Leadership Council (LLC) about a year ago. It has been such an honor to join that group. They provide great coaching on several important topics.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Interested in working with Brian and the rest of our amazing team?
