Broker/Owner BIO

---

Brian Mays is a Licensed Real Estate Broker and the Owner of Patriot Mark Realty, a Commercial & Residential Brokerage based in Tampa, Florida. He is married to his wife, Jenafer, a father to their three children, a mediocre golfer, and an avid sports fan of Champa Bay. Since moving to the Tampa area in 2015, Brian and his family have been active parishioners of Hyde Park United Methodist serving the community through fellowship. With over seven years of experience in the Florida market, he has developed a deep understanding of the local trends, organic opportunities, and challenges that affect the real estate industry here. He holds the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation, which demonstrates his expertise in asset strategy, investment analysis, and market research.

Prior to starting a career in real estate, Brian spent 18 years in outside sales, primarily within the adult beverage industry, managing teams for both a global supplier and a national distributor across multiple states. He also served 10 years in the United States Army/Guard in various leadership roles within combat arms units, along with deployments in country and overseas, before exiting in 2010 as a commissioned

officer. During his military service, Brian was a 2-time recipient of the Bronze Star Medal, one with Valor device, and was documented in a nationally published book chronicling his team's mission in their deployment to Afghanistan. These experiences have enabled him to communicate effectively, negotiate confidently, and build lasting relationships with his clients and partners. As a testament to this effort, he has successfully closed several property transactions across various asset types, equating to over $155 million in property sales sold. Brian is actively involved in several committees within the Tampa Bay Chamber & Leadership Tampa, the local CCIM West Coast Florida Chapter, Florida Realtors Board, Suncoast Tampa Association of Realtors, MacDill AFB Honorary Commander, a Board Member of the Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County, and volunteers with

numerous local non-profits supporting health & welfare initiatives across the state.
