🌟 EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: BRIAN GOUGH 🌟
Meet Brian Gough, one of our Shareholders here at Hancock/Dana! 👋
Brian joined the H/D team in June 2020 after spending 11 years at a Big Four accounting firm. Ready for a new chapter, he was drawn to the opportunity to work closely with local business owners and individuals making a positive impact in our community.
What does Brian love most about working at H/D?
"I absolutely enjoy the daily interactions I have with my clients and colleagues."
Brian describes himself as an accountant with a salesman-like personality, so building relationships and connecting with others is what keeps him energized!
Outside the office, Brian enjoys spending time with his wife, Jessica, and their three daughters, attending sporting events and concerts, golfing, and fishing for largemouth bass.
✨ A few fun facts about Brian:
- He spent 25 years as an ice hockey referee for local youth and college organizations!
- His Nebraska roots run deep! Brian studied accounting at the University of Nebraska at Kearney before continuing his education at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and the University of Nebraska at Omaha to complete the coursework needed to sit for the CPA exam.
- His go-to coffee order is simple: hot black coffee. ☕
- If he could have any superpower, he'd choose X-ray vision to help him spot more fish beneath the water!
We're grateful to have Brian's energy, experience, and passion for building relationships on Team H/D!
