About Tommy: Tommy Brann has been working in the restaurant business since the age of 17. At the age of 19, Tommy had opened his restaurant, Tommy Brann's Sizzling Steaks and Sports Grille. Soon thereafter, bills began arriving at his restaurant. The bills were oftentimes $5,000 or more a month. As a small business owner, Tommy had no choice but to become conservative-minded; he chose to work hard in order to pay his bills and stay in business.
As the years went by, Tommy has experienced numerous business challenges and has learned to adapt during every stage. Tommy will discuss the ups and downs and how he has accepted each stage with a “glass is half full” attitude. Treating others as you would want to be treated is one of the values that Tommy portrays with his staff whom are like family.
Through the ownership and operations of Brann's Restaurant, Tommy has been on the front lines of life. He has served our families and heard our stories. Tommy draws inspiration from his father, John Brann. John's story of owning and operating a small business triggered Tommy's passion and desire to serve others. Outside of the restaurant, he has served in various leadership positions at the city, county, and state levels.
Tommy has been married 48 years to his wife, Sue whom he met when she lived across the street from his restaurant. Tommy has been a business owner for over 50 years and can still be seen busing tables, washing dishes or doing whatever needs to be done.
