Brien Spann, CIC, AAI
Commercial Insurance Advisor
A 4th generation Floridian, Brien was born in Winter Haven, raised in Auburndale, and is a long-time resident of Lakeland. He had an active childhood, playing a variety of sports and involved in his church youth program. His passion for sports and helping others ultimately led him to pursue a Sports Medicine degree at Samford University. After working as a Certified Athletic Trainer for a local high school in Birmingham and different SEC events, Brien wanted to be closer to family so he took a position at the National Training Center in Clermont. After many years of experience working with athletes and Orthopedic surgeons, Brien was ready to make an impact outside the clinic and athletic field setting.
Family is a key value for Brien. So, when his brother Mark presented him with an opportunity to work at Mulling, he shifted his career path to insurance. The industry turned out to be his calling and, for the past 20 years, Brien has been a commercial agent/risk advisor on the team. He thrives in the challenges and variety that come with commercial insurance, appreciating being able to design tailored solutions for clients whose needs extend beyond standard coverage. Even more than that, his core purpose is to help others navigate a complicated subject.
Outside the office, Brien enjoys golfing and is involved in his church community. Nothing quite compares to when you ask Brien about his family, though. His wife of 20 years, JJ, and their two teenage daughters, Hannah and Hadley, are his world. At Mulling Insurance, Brien values the family-focused atmosphere, flexibility, and emphasis on building lasting relationships. He approaches each day as a new opportunity to learn and help others protect their assets, firmly believing that success comes from putting clients’ interests first.
