President and Chairman of the Board Brown Bunyan Moon & More, Inc. (Retired) – Glendale, California
Jerry K. Brown, an entrepreneur and the epitome of the American Dream, started a commercial retail environmental design firm, in 1970, with two partners after grasping various skills from painting signs with his father in East St. Louis, Illinois where he grew up. Through Brown Bunyan Moon & More (BBM&M) Mr. Brown created a niche using a unique, total concept marketing strategy, before others even thought of it, by mixing merchandising trends, architectural elements and interior design into one single entity. Through these processes and economic innovation, technological advancements with computer aided design led BBM&M even further into a design/build theory affording his clients tremendous national and international marketing power. In recent years, he has concentrated on other entrepreneurial avenues by founding Olympic Development an affordable housing development. Never losing sight of his meager beginnings, Mr. Brown takes every opportunity to help support many charities and fully understands that philanthropic gestures are as much a part of the American Dream as his business achievements. “People make the wheels of industry go round; in fact, they make the world go round.”
