Earlier this year, we had the privilege of celebrating a true Brighton Marine milestone.

Derrick Hassell, our longest-serving team member, has devoted more than 47 years to supporting Veterans and building the sense of community that defines our mission. From his first days as a teen employee to his role as Director of Facilities & Maintenance, Derrick’s leadership has left an indelible mark.
