Brian is the founder of Alpine AS. Brian graduated with an Agribusiness degree from Kansas State University in 1993. He got his start in the grain business with DeBruce Grain where he learned how to create revenue without the support of an asset. Hard work, hustle and servicing customers is how Brian carved a place in the industry.

Over the next 22 years, Brian has worked for other Trade Groups developing and managing trade and asset-based businesses. Leading asset projects on the East Coast, Deep South, Midwest and NW regions, Brian has gained extensive knowledge and trade experience in all US markets.

Brian’s belief is that markets are evolving and changing spurred by consolidation. Producers and end users possess an inherent desire to become more aligned. Product identification, sustainability and food security are just a few trends that drive final consumer decisions. Farmers spend countless hours to become optimal physical producers of products. Having time to do this and navigate fast moving markets is nearly impossible, especially when adding scale to their operations. A non-conflicted partner with bottom line as the top priority is the secret sauce of Alpine. The Alpine model seeks the true market at its highest potential and leverages many years of knowledge from the commercial side to help the farmer relax and know his best interests are being watched every day.
