Our Firm
Our founder, Gary Brink, started GBA in 1993 with a focus on providing unparalleled design, client service, and quality construction documentation that continues to drive us today.
In 2008, Jeff Brenkus joined GBA with a work ethic and a creative spirit that leads our talented team and continues our vision as leaders in the hospitality market and beyond.
With Gary’s retirement in early 2016, Jeff continues in the firm leadership and the proud tradition of the past with an eye on the future.
