He has since transformed the company into a business representing 17 automotive brands across 15 locations, a reinsurance company, real estate holdings, and a dealer-to-consumer retail startup, generating $760M+ in annual revenue and 15,000 units sold. Brian provides executive oversight on all business activities, leads the management teams, and ultimately oversees 800+ employees.

Under Brian's leadership, one of Dennis & Co Auto Group's pillars to success is an unwavering dedication to people. For his customers, this means a shift from high-pressure sales to seamless interactions that can begin online and conclude in person. It means one call, text, or email in the event of a car service issue. It means access to a dedicated Customer Care department for immediate attention to and resolution of any customer concerns.

Brian's company CORE values — Compensation, Opportunity, Respect, and Expectations — have led to his employees offering a world-class customer experience. Dennis & Co. Auto Group has consistently exceeded customer satisfaction expectations and received multiple manufacturer awards, including the Pentastar Club Award, Volkswagen Wolfsberg Crest Club Award, and Chrysler Customer First Award for Excellence.

As an 18-year active member, Brian currently serves as the Chairman of the New York State Automobile Dealers Association, and formerly as Chairman of NYSADA's Legislative Committee. Working with U.S. senators, congressmen, attorney general, and the New York State governor, he actively advocates for auto dealers state-wide. He is also a member of the NADA PAC President's Club. Brian also participates in one of the highest-performing NADA Dealer 20 Groups, CD-03, Super Group 01, and serves on the FCA Northeast Business Center Dealer Council and the Kia Dealer Council.

With his nearly 800 employees, Brian has established incredible relationships and retention through a laser-like focus on personal growth and development. In addition to offering college tuition to all employees and supporting industry-specific education, he provides organizational career pathways for each role with a comprehensive reward and recognition program. Nearly all of the group's leaders began with the company in an entry-level capacity.

Brian's commitment to people extends far beyond his network of stores into the surrounding community. Through the New York City Justice Corps prisoner reentry internship program, Brian offers young adults with criminal records a supportive environment focused on building skills. For each vehicle sold, Dennis & Co. donates to The STEM Alliance, a non-profit that enhances STEM education for all. As the News 12 Bronx Scholar-Athlete Program's exclusive sponsor, Brian helps recognize outstanding local high school seniors. The group also proudly supports the Bronx Youth Empowerment Program and the Harlem Junior Tennis & Education Program.

Brian studied Business and Finance at Walsh College and is a 2006 graduate of the NADA Dealer Academy. He grew up in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI, and currently resides in Mamaroneck, NY with his wife, Tina, and their three children.
