Alicia Brentzel

Alicia and AJ Brentzel are the husband-and-wife team behind Brex Enterprises, a Pennsylvania-based excavation and contracting company known for its disciplined approach, strong culture, and commitment to quality. Together, they’ve grown Brex from a small startup into a respected industry leader by pairing AJ’s operational and field expertise with Alicia’s strategic leadership and focus on building systems that scale.

After experiencing firsthand the stress, chaos, and trial-and-error of growing a construction company, the Brentzel's and Auman's developed Primed for Growth, a practical framework that helps small contractors reduce overwhelm, strengthen their foundations, and grow with confidence. They now share the lessons, systems, and real-world insights they wish they had earlier in their journey.

Their direct, relatable teaching style resonates with contractors who want clarity—not theory—and their goal is simple: help others build strong teams, better systems, and businesses that don’t run on chaos.
