​As CEO and co-founder of Jump Start, Brian brings both professional and personal background to the creation of financial programs designed specifically to help families.
 
A devoted husband and father of 2, Brian has been a leader in the consumer finance industry for more than 20 years. Prior to founding Jump Start, he served as Vice President, Operations for Encore Capital Group (NASDAQ: ECPG) and Senior Vice President for Genesis Financial Solutions. In both senior leadership positions, Brian focused on developing financial products for under-served markets, creating outstanding consumer experiences, and obsessing about how to achieve business strategies that lead to positive outcomes for consumers, partners, and investors.

A frequent speaker at financial industry events and conferences, Brian has demonstrated a strong leadership philosophy with an emphasis on creating a positive and engaging work environment, where character, respect, and truly caring about your peers and colleagues are key ingredients that lead to great business results.
 
When not focused on the Jump Start team and providing families with the financial flexibility to improve the quality of care for their children, Brian is a mediocre (but enthusiastic) musician, chess player, and lover of the outdoors. BACK
