For those of you who don’t know my sister’s husband Brian, you are definitely missing out. Brian’s enthusiasm for life, overachiever attitude, and all around caring, kind-hearted soul makes him one of the most AWESOME people I have ever met. After spending six years as an undergrad student at the University of Maryland (go TERPS!) and getting not one, but three undergrad degrees, it wasn’t enough. He decided he needed to go to school longer, and get his Juris Doctorate. He spent three long hard years away from my sister in the most frigid of places Lansing, Michigan. Back and forth they went making sure to see each other at least every other week, all along assuring her that soon he would finish his life long dream and make it back to Maryland for good.
I knew, but I think he was still unsure, until he saw it with his own eyes. I got the call, “Sparrow, I passed!” He endured, he did it, he passed the bar. Now all that was left was to make it official with the ‘Swearing In.’ All of us were so excited when the big day came, and even though the limit was two guests, all eleven of us came along…whoops. Congrats Bri, I knew you could do it!
This guy gave an amazing speech, not at all what I expected from a Justice.

Making it official, signing the book that all barred lawyers in Maryland have signed. He tried to sign it with his purple pen…but they wouldn’t let him.

The Court of Appeals building was so awesome!

Here he is, the newest laywer in Maryland, Brian A. Tucci Esquire

After the ceremony we all went to McGarvey’s for a celebratory lunch.

Only Bri would be excited about a Maryland Law book.

All of us, minus the fab photographer… me :)

And if that wasn’t enough, he will be taking the Virginia state bar in a few weeks, and has started his own construction company; Coordinate Construction. Check out his website here, if you’re looking for a good, reliable, licensed, insured contractor. Or if you need a lawyer, contact me and I will pass you along.
Feel free to leave your congratulatory comments for Brian in the comment section.
