Hi, I’m Brian.
I’m a founder and serial entrepreneur, known for pioneering the professional junk hauling industry with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?.
I’m also passionate about inspiring others to live the dream and change their lives through the power of dreaming BIG.
MY STORY STARTED IN 1989
I was 19 years old, broke, and looking for a way to pay my college tuition.
Inspiration struck while I was waiting in line at a McDonald’s drive-thru, and saw an old junk truck rolling past.
‘I could do that’, I thought.
So I did.

30 YEARS LATER
1-800-GOT-JUNK? is the world’s largest junk removal company, and we’ve launched two more brands: WOW 1 DAY PAINTING, and Shack Shine.
Together, these three companies are O2E Brands – making the ‘ordinary’ business of home services ‘exceptional’!
