Council member Branch worked as an accountant for two years and subsequently moved into mortgage banking and finance, underwriting, managing and assisting with regional operations. In 2008, he began his current business helping people with disabilities. In 2009 he started Valiant Employment Services in McKinney. The business was incorporated in 2012 at which time the name was changed to Valiant Services Texas, Inc.
Council member Branch is married with four children and attends Gateway Church in Frisco. He accredits his success to his faith and belief in the Lord. His goals have always included helping people, and he looks forward to continuing that goal as Council member with the city of McKinney.
After 27 years in the retail industry, Heidi took on a new challenge. From corporate life to entrepreneurship. From fashion retail to the employee benefits industry. At 15 years old, Heidi started at JCPenney where she went from a sales floor associate to Divisional Vice President at the corporate office & led the largest brand launch in JCPenney history.
In her current role as a co-founder and COO, she launched freshbenies (as in, a fresh approach to benefits) to give employers and individuals practical tools to control their healthcare dime, time and peace of mind.
freshbenies has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies in America for three consecutive years and the Dallas 100 for two consecutive years.
No matter what the product or service, Heidi has learned that people want brands that engage and help simplify life. Even more, they want brands to follow through on that promise. That’s what she does.
