Meet Brian Bailey, the vice chairman of the board for Three Dimensional Life and a member of the Gainesville Jaycees.
Brian is a man who has lived in many places during his 34 years but loves the community he has chosen to settle down in and calls Gainesville his home.
Brian attended the University of Georgia after graduating high school in Conyers. During his time at UGA, Brian majored in real estate.
After college in Athens, he moved to Florida, then it was on to Denver. During his time in Denver, Brian learned that he can’t be far away from family. From Denver he moved to Athens then to Charleston with his wife Savannah. The couple was married in July 2010. About four months after their marriage, Brian and Savannah moved to Hall County where they now live with their dog, Maddie.
Recently, we were fortunate enough to enjoy a cup of coffee with Brian and ask a few questions about his life here in Hall County.
