Brian Cross Head-shot

“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all of the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.” – Kurt Vonnegut

Brian is an Upholster I who joined Furnishings and Design in 2018, and he has over five years of professional experience. He grew up in Fairhope, AL and earned his Technical Education degree in Automotive Service Technology with an Electronics minor at Southern Union State Community College. Prior to joining UA, he worked at a mechanic shop on trailer trucks and various other automobiles.

He enjoys helping the design staff see their vision come to fruition. He loves the artistic environment where he can participate in the design process and be a part of the restoration of the campus. One of the most rewarding aspects of his job is providing a finished piece that has been completely refurbished to look new.
