A natural competitor both on and off the field, Brian Gregory has built a remarkable life at the intersection of business, family, and faith. His story began on the baseball diamond, where he first showcased his competitive spirit as a 5-year-old All-Star which helped propel him to elite levels—representing Virginia in the “Little League World Series” and competing alongside future MLB Legend “Justin Verlander” with American Legion Post 354 – an early lesson in excellence that would shape his approach to everything that followed.
A born entrepreneur, Brian launched his first venture at just 19 years old as an Independent Business Owner with the Amway Corporation. There, he mastered sales, marketing, consulting, public speaking, and team leadership while representing iconic brands like Bass Pro Shops, Home Depot, Best Buy, PacSun, and several other Fortune 500 companies. That early success ignited a 25-year career building, scaling, and exiting businesses across industries—from remodeling and residential construction to global fuel, tank farms, refineries and commodities trading worldwide—proving his versatility and strategic acumen has positioned him at the forefront of innovation, and today he balances a thriving portfolio while actively mentoring and sharing hard-won insights to uplift the next generation of leaders. Brian is currently working alongside his partners in growing one of the fastest and largest energy businesses worldwide, driving expansion and innovation across global markets.
Beyond the boardroom, Brian’s passions reflect his depth:
- Traveling the world with his wife and three daughters, turning adventures into lifelong lessons.
- Hunting and fishing expeditions that ground him in discipline and the natural world.
- Competitive men’s softball and golf outings, where camaraderie and hustle forge lasting relationships.
- Drawing strength from these 3 scriptures and many more:
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
“As long as God keeps waking you up, He still has a plan for you.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
“The Full Armor of God” (Ephesians 6:10-18) – “a must read.”
Whether guiding his daughters to pursue excellence and surpass their goals, mentoring fellow entrepreneurs, or negotiating international contracts, Brian demonstrates unwavering commitment and expertise and lives by a simple creed:
“Outwork your doubts, build with integrity, and leave every field—whether a baseball diamond or a boardroom—better than you found it.”
