Brian Baber

My natural entrepreneurial spirit is passionately reflected in my business knowledge and invaluable experience as a highly respected franchisee of Arthur Rutenberg Homes, a custom and luxury home builder since 2003. My dedication to building an elite team yields unsurpassed service and quality with a commitment to excellence in customer satisfaction leading to a 1st place ranking in Best of Bay, National Avid Diamond Award for Highest Customer Rating at Move-In, and Arthur Rutenberg Homes Gold Cup Award.

True to my entrepreneurship spirit, I began teaching entrepreneurship in the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship in 2017. I have enjoyed every minute of sharing my life and business experiences with students as they embark on their entrepreneurial dreams. Students appreciate when I bring real-world examples of challenges into the classroom. My interactive teaching style helps students stay engaged while learning.

My community involvement evidenced by my commitment to helping those around me and making it a better place to live. I have served as a mentor to many and serve in executive and leadership positions in civic and service boards such as the Rotary Club, Bay Education Foundation, Girls Inc., New Horizons School, Taunton Family Children’s Home, Bridges to Circles, Pi Kappa Phi Housing Corporation, and the Lynn Haven United Methodist Church. I have also authored the book: In-Home: Creating Your Dream Home Room by Room. I’m married to the love of my life and am a proud father of four wonderful children where we make our home in Lynn Haven, FL.
