Co-Owner & Chief Brick Officer · Brick City Bros
Jay Garrett
Jay Garrett is co-owner and Chief Brick Officer of Brick City Bros. Like a lot of us, he grew up building with LEGO®. A few years ago he came back to the hobby as an adult and never looked back.
What started as a passion project became a business: buying LEGO® collections across Central New Jersey, sorting them down to the individual piece, and getting them back into the hands of builders around the world through our BrickLink and Brick Owl stores.
He still builds for fun whenever he can, and he's always happy to talk shop about a collection, a retired set, or that one piece you can't find.
