James Marek

Senior Vice President/Austin General Manager, The Brandt Companies

Our culture of care differentiates us. Caring for our people is one of the most important things we can do. I've seen many examples over the years of people going above and beyond to care for each other in many different ways. A lot of companies say they care about their employees, but anyone that has spent any time working for us knows that we actually do.
