Meet owners Barry and Sharon Brass.

Sharon is a native Texan and Barry moved here 30 years ago. After a lifetime of big-city living, traveling the world, and corporate careers, the Brasses fulfilled their dream to settle down in beautiful Washington County.

In 2004, they opened Parcel Plus as a way to help local businesses and individuals through their business expertise.

“We immediately felt at home here,” says Sharon. “We love this community and feel blessed that we have been so warmly welcomed. It’s a community of good people who are warm and kind -- and we are privileged to be part of it.”

Barry currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Washington County Chamber of Commerce. Sharon is active in the Rotary Club of Washington County, serving on their Board as the PR committee chairman. The Brasses support other local non-profit organizations, and have a soft spot for veterans and military folks (Barry is a Vietnam veteran.)

Barry is a sales and marketing executive. Before opening the Parcel Plus center, he most recently worked at Unisys Corporation where he led sizeable teams to manage national and government accounts. He served as director of corporate and product marketing at Testdata Systems Corporation, manager of performance management at General Foods Corporation, and computer operations manager at Doubleday & Company.

Sharon has led many teams to launch companies, promote products and manage large events. She founded Market Dimensions, a successful marketing company that she operated for seven years until her move to Washington County. Clients included HP, Compaq, Dell, US Oncology, Texas Oncology and a host of small-to-medium sized companies. Her previous roles included marketing and management positions at Compaq, Unisys, KPMG and start-ups.
