Farris joins BDR with more than 30 years of leadership experience spanning entrepreneurship, technology, marketing and business operations. After more than a decade in corporate leadership, he founded and built his own company before successfully exiting the business. That entrepreneurial journey sparked a passion for helping fellow business owners succeed. 

For the past 10 years, Farris has dedicated his career to partnering with entrepreneurs and small business owners, providing coaching, training and strategic support that helps them create sustainable growth. His experience and passion closely align with BDR's mission of helping home service contractors become “Prime”— the very best they can be in every aspect of their business and leadership.

"From my very first conversations with the team, it was clear BDR is a very special company," said Farris. "What the team has built over nearly three decades is remarkable. I'm honored to lead this outstanding company at such an exciting point in its journey, and I look forward to building on its strong foundation, expanding BDR's reach, and helping even more home service business owners build stronger, more profitable businesses."

Founded in 1998 by Wiseman and Barry Burnett, BDR has supports home services contractors, distributors, and platform companies in driving profit and growth in their businesses. BDR has thousands of companies leveraging best practices, marketing execution, accounting and financial support, and team member training resources every month.

"From the beginning, Barry, Kim Archer, and myself set out to help contractors build a more successful business. Almost 30 years later, that mission still remains true,” said Wiseman. “While my title might be changing, my commitment to BDR won’t as I continue to work with our leadership team, our clients and our partners to build on the strong foundation we've created together.”
