Brian W. Bonham, Esq.

Tell us a little bit about your history and how you came to be at Wickens Herzer Panza.

I spent ten years in a much smaller firm so I think my path varies a bit from my contemporaries at WHP. I was definitely more of a generalist and did everything from drafting cover letters to contracts. I was looking for a bigger platform with great people. When the opportunity with WHP came up, I thought it might provide both. From my first meeting with Dan Urban, I knew that WHP was the right fit. The rest is history.

What's in your wallet/purse right this very minute? What do you never leave home without?

Burt's Bees and Dental Floss.

What else should we know about you?

Manchester United; favorite books are generally nonfiction (historical accounts, autobiographies/experience based (most recent ones being Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life and Endurance) with a Jack Reacher book thrown in for light reading every once in awhile.

Tell me something unique about yourself.

I like to garden, especially growing hot peppers, and enjoy cooking and grilling.

Tell me about your most recent big "win."

I managed and closed a $2.55 million commercial real estate transaction on a very compressed timeline.

Why do/should people want to and choose to work with you?

I'm professional, fair and reasonable. I also like to believe I'm a good listener and a genuine individual.

What is your passion? What are you passionate about? What makes you tick?

My family- traveling with them and playing soccer. Soccer is our thing. Boating and being on the water - lake life.
