When Bricen has spare time he enjoys trying to play his beloved guitars, and he can be spotted fishing - trying to catch the ever elusive catch.
Bricen purchased Warren and Company in March 2020 after working at Warren and Company for the previous 17 years. Bricen plans to continue to offer the same values and quality of work Warren and Company has become known for as well as building upon the strong foundation he has been taught from Warren.
