“Brian is a fantastic addition to the produce and fresh team,” said Brian Maguire, executive vice president of produce at JOH. “His wealth of industry experience, leadership skills and passion for driving success make him an incredible fit for JOH. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome him to the family!”
LaMarche lives in Minnesota with his wife, Lisa, and their four children. A passionate Minnesota Vikings fan, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, attending concerts and exploring the outdoors.
