Advisory Board

Born and raised in Tyler, Texas, Brian B. Adams has been a serial entrepreneur since his undergraduate days at the University of Alabama, where he launched Bama Butler LLC to pick up and deliver the laundry of busy college students. Always on the lookout for an opportunity to meet a need, other ventures quickly followed, including T-shirt printing, graphic design, ecommerce, and door-to-door sales. Upon graduation, Brian went to work on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

In 2002, Brian launched Restoration Cleaners LLC (now The Cleaning Company), a garment and electronics restoration and hotel valet service, taking it from zero sales and a single employee to a multi-million-dollar company with 100 employees. Restoration Cleaners was named to the Inc. 500 List of Fastest Growing Private Companies in the U.S. in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. In 2010 Adams oversaw the acquisition of Restoration Cleaners by a private equity group. After three years of improper management, in 2013, Adams and a partner once again took charge of the company, marking a return to high standards. The Cleaning Company is a member of the Houston Lodging Association of Greater Houston (“HLAGH”), providing services to brands such as DoubleTree, Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton, Westin, and many others. The Cleaning Company is also part of Renewal Claim Solutions (formerly NARD), a national cleaning and restoration franchise on whose board Adams sits.

In the early 2000s Adams founded and managed Sla Investments, BA Investment Group, and TA Equity Holdings Company. In 2007 he led the acquisition of Newton Nursery & Alvin Tree Farm, a large Texas wholesale nursery and tree farm. In July 2012, Adams and group (BA Interests) announced their purchase of a successful composite materials manufacturer, Rumber Materials LLC. Since the purchase, Rumber Materials has earned a prestigious Evergreen Award from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for their support of the federal government’s environmental efforts.

In 2010 Brian co-founded North American Restoration Dry Cleaners LLC (NARD), now Renewal Claim Solutions, in order to create a network of restoration dry cleaning companies that would subscribe to industry best practices, standards, and business ethics. The members also work to educate national insurance companies and residential claims agents on the benefits of restoration dry cleaning. Renewal Claim Solutions evolved into a franchise in 2018 in order to more effectively bring their collective expertise to their clients.

In 2018 Brian established Retail Reworks, applying his deep knowledge of textile cleaning and restoration to the burgeoning online retail industry. Retail Reworks soon added the full suite of end-to-end reverse logistics solutions and customized, hyper-efficient returns processing. Building its own cloud-based R4 Returns software with API connections to all retail, 3PL, and returns software platforms, by 2022 Retail Reworks positioned itself as the solution for companies to grow their businesses and go full circular in the retail industry.

In 2022 Brian and co-founder Katy Link pioneered Crypto & Electronic Services, applying their visionary mindsets and problem-solving skills to the field of electronics restoration and maintenance. C & E Services provides maintenance and optimization services, as well as post-disaster restoration to mining facilities and data centers in the crypto industry. Their expert teams can increase uptime and maximize efficiency of any electronics facility, and restore full functionality to any business that has suffered data or hardware losses.

In 2022 Brian co-launched GoGo Foundation with Susan Adams Campbell, William Adams, and Kathryn Adams Krsnich to continue the brilliant philanthropic legacy of Margo J. Hirsch Adams. Operating under Margo’s motto, “The Golden Rule is the Only Rule,” GoGo makes a difference in the lives of the vulnerable by supporting the Norton & Elaine Sarnoff Center for Jewish Genetics, Hospice of East Texas, The Child Advocate, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Adams has been recognized by Houston Business Journal’s 40 under 40, Inc.’s 30 under 30, and US Leaders and Entrepreneurs’ 2010 Outstanding Leadership Award. He has been profiled in several publications, including Donna Fenn’s Upstarts! How GenY Entrepreneurs Are Rocking the World of Business and 8 Ways You Can Profit From Their Success. He has spoken at the Extreme Entrepreneur Tour and the CEO (College Entrepreneur Organization). Brian is an active member of CEO, Center for Houston’s Future, NARD, YEC (Young Entrepreneur Council), and EO (Entrepreneurs’ Organization), and is on the entrepreneurial board of the University of Alabama.

Brian is a proud husband and father to three boys.

Susan A. Campbell serves as a Senior Vice President, Finance Manager at Bank of America, supporting the Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG), Public Policy, Charlotte Market President Organization, and the Global Sports Sponsorships teams. In this capacity, she is responsible for providing strategic guidance and performance insights to her business partners and operating key control processes to ensure the integrity of the financial results. She also serves as the treasurer for the Bank of America Charitable Foundation.

In 2006 Campbell launched her career in Finance, landing a spot in Bank of America’s Finance Managerial Associate Program (FMAP), where she also served on the Steering Committee. Since the FMAP program, she has excelled in several other roles in Finance, including Global Marketing & Corporate Affairs (Consumer Marketing & Corporate Communications), Consumer Mortgage, Global Commercial Banking, and the Countrywide Transition. In recognition of her skill and achievements, Susan was named a Bank of America Emerging Leader in 2018.

Susan has long worked to inspire women to fulfill their potential and take on challenging leadership roles. While at the University of Texas, Austin (where she earned a BBA in Finance), she served as treasurer for Kappa Kappa Gamma, a sorority that promotes women’s leadership as well as lifelong academic pursuit. Subsequently Campbell became active in the Junior League of Chattanooga, was recognized as a United Way of Greater Chattanooga Young Leader, and served in LEAD for Women – Charlotte. Within Bank of America, she has actively participated in several programs that promote leadership growth, including the CFO Women’s Connect Group, the CFO enrichment program, and the CFO mentoring program. 

Susan’s other charitable work includes volunteering with the Myers Park Traditional School PTA and the Myers Park Presbyterian Church Weekday School. 

Susan resides in Charlotte, NC with her husband and three children. 

William is GoGo’s third-born child, narrowly missing out as the caboose of the family (by two minutes) to his twin sister, Kathryn. He lives in Fort Worth, Texas with his wife, Shannon, and three boys: Bear, and twins Walter and Pierson. 

Professionally, William works as a Senior Loan Officer at Legacy Mutual Mortgage in Fort Worth. His favorite aspect of this role is getting to help people—a trait for which GoGo is so fondly remembered by her friends and family.

William has the distinction of most closely resembling GoGo, with similar smiles, skin tone, and even haircuts! This is likely a contributing factor to William being GoGo’s favorite child for a stretch in the 1990’s. 

William is excited about the GoGo Foundation as an opportunity to extend GoGo’s memory and legacy—both philanthropically through fundraising efforts and socially with a fun annual get together! 

Kathryn Krsnich is a natural people person who attracts others with her outgoing, friendly personality, wit, and Southern charm. She enjoys helping others achieve their goals, and building lasting relationships. Her loyalty to and enjoyment of relationships with people are gifts from her mother Margo.

As a Realtor with Kelly Kemnitz & Associates in Wichita, KS, Kathryn is committed to ensuring that her buyers and sellers have the best possible real estate experience. A great listener and problem solver, Kathryn is effortlessly the voice of reason who guides her clients through any situation that arises.

Prior to becoming a Realtor in 2016, Kathryn was a Visual Merchandiser and Sales Representative for the women’s accessories brand Brighton. She was responsible for helping 60+ small stores maintain their inventories and maximize their sales by identifying the best-selling products for each store, as well as designing eye-catching visual displays. This experience helped develop her service-oriented demeanor and diligent attention to detail. Kathryn believes that these attributes help make the process of buying and selling real estate very smooth for her clients and decreases both problems and surprises.

In her personal time Kathryn enjoys spending time with her family (husband Joey, a daughter, a son, and a cockapoo called Lola), traveling, going out for sushi, and watching college football! A graduate of the University of Georgia with a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising, Kathryn is a die-hard Georgia Bulldog fan. 

Experiencing the loss of her mother and the birth of her son within the same six-month period pushed Kathryn to draw upon strengths instilled in her by Margo. She learned to “play the cards she was dealt” as Margo always did with grace. As her brother Brian would say, “Onwards and Upwards.” 

Keeping true to her desire to have a positive impact on the people around her, Kathryn serves on the committee for the American Cancer Society’s Cattle Baron's Ball, as well as on GoGo’s Advisory Board.
