Brian Giammarella

Brian Giammarella started off on a typical path: getting his computer science degree and writing software for big banks and hedge funds.

But then 2009 hit, and Brian felt he needed a change…a big change. He left his corporate job, earned his MBA, and went into business with his family as a real estate investor and developer.

More than a decade later, Brian has bought, developed, and sold countless properties across the nation, mostly here in Northern New Jersey. Brian shares some of his craziest stories in the business and mistakes he’s made along the way.

But perhaps most importantly, he talks about his growing involvement with the Ridgewood-famous Somerville/Hawes Dad’s Night and being involved here in the Ridgewood community.
