I'm Brian Olsen, a REALTOR® since 2012. I've had a lifetime rooted in construction, contracts, and real estate. I grew up in Southern Idaho, met my wife at Utah State University, and we've raised our eight wonderful children in Wallsburg — which we consider a little slice of heaven. We've raised our children with an entrepreneurial spirit and a heart for service. Saying 'yes' to this opportunity to serve on the UCAR Board is a continuation of that commitment and a way to model leadership, accountability, and community involvement.

Before real estate, I worked in my family's construction business, where I learned the nuts and bolts of building, negotiation, and working through contracts with developers, contractors, and unions — skills that have paid dividends for my clients and colleagues. 

Leadership and service opportunities are part of my core and have included many community, ecclesiastical, and charitable positions. As one of the soon-to-be first graduates of the new Leadership Utah Association of Realtors Designation, it has helped me better understand the functions of our local board and its importance.

Thank you for your consideration. I appreciate the nomination and I'm ready to faithfully serve.
