Hodges Collision names new director of operations

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Steve Guinn, president/CEO of Hodges Collision Center announced that Brandon Fisch was named Director of Operations in an ongoing effort to strengthen the Hodges Collision management team.

Brandon joins Hodges Collision from Caliber Collision where he worked for 3 years. He made a major career change before working in the automotive collision industry; Brandon was a recognized chef, initially working in New York City where he was named a James Beard Finalist. Wanting to get back to Houston, he opened ‘the burger guys’ restaurants in Houston and was named the Youngest Chef by My Table Magazine’s annual feature ‘Best Chef in the City’ category.

Eventually closing the restaurants and wanting a more normal schedule to raise a family, Brandon said, “I always loved seeing the looks on our guest’s faces when I presented a meal, and I realized that people have the same happy look when they see their previously damaged car, now in brand new condition. I love providing customers with a positive experience and Hodges Collision fits the bill.”

He continued, “I also believe strongly in the concept of Servant Leadership, where the leadership pyramid is flipped upside down so that the managers can better mentor and encourage their employees. It really has a positive effect on the organization.”

“We are so pleased to have Brandon in a leadership position at Hodges Collision Center,” noted Guinn. “His management style and experience is so valuable to us and his belief in Servant Leadership has had a positive impact on our team. He believes in a great customer experience and that is the foundation of Hodges Collision. We are looking forward to growing the company with his insight.”

Having grown up in The Woodland Texas, Brandon now lives here with his wife and 3 young sons. He is an avid golfer, loves coaching his son’s soccer team and is a motorcycle street road racer enthusiast. Brandon is an active member of Woods Edge Community Church.
