I enjoy what I do on a daily basis. Flag Star has offered me life lessons, an awesome book club, office dogs, and an opportunity to positively impact hundreds if not thousands of lives. I’m beyond thrilled to join this team, support our mission, and participate in greatness!

Brian Dawkins

Spending time with my fiancee Caity and our fur baby Chloe. Riding my motorcycle, hiking, traveling and spending time with the ones who matter most.
