From Badge to Backline: Meet DKCU Director Brian Gerken

At DKCU, we run on community, chaos, and the quiet leadership of folks like Brian Gerken—a Director at the club, a police officer in real life, and part-time John Hall wrangler (someone’s gotta do it).

Meet DKCU Director Brian Gerken — Officer, Organizer, Legend

The last thing Brian bought online? Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2—because the man’s got taste. Posters on the wall as a kid? None, which honestly makes him feel even more mysterious. Childhood dream? Visit the UK.

A loud and proud Manchester United fan (glory glory, etc.), Brian is all-in on building something lasting with DKCU. When he hits 80, he says family and seeing DKCU reach USL League 1 will be the big wins. No pressure or anything.

As for guilty pleasure movies: it’s Baseketball, which tells you everything and nothing about him. This season, Brian’s looking forward to good games, good weather, and good times with friends—a vibe we can absolutely get behind.

Here’s to the real MVPs behind the curtain. 👏
