Brian Selchick, a Menands native and Union College senior who formed his own company while in college, is among the “40 Under Forty” announced by The Business Review Friday.
Joining Selchick on the list is Chris Brantigan, 28, a 1998 graduate of Union College. Brantigan is operations and sales manager for Nationwide Equities Corp., an Albany-based mortgage firm.
Selchick, 21, is a U.S. history major at Union. He graduated from Albany Academy. In 2004, he created eWired Auctions, LLC, which specializes in eBay fundraising for charities.
“I'm honored to be selected by The Business Review,'' Selchick said. “My company is doing well, but to be singled out as one of the region's up and coming business leaders is awesome.''
Selchick is co-president of the Union's Entrepreneurship Club and a member of Sigma Phi fraternity. He will join the other winners at a luncheon at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Albany May 4.
The business journal each year identifies 40 of the region's most promising young members of the business community. They were chosen by a panel of business leaders from among nearly 200 nominees.
