Jensen Outdoor, North America’s leading sustainable luxury wood furniture manufacturer, announces the appointment of Bryan Echols as its Vice President

Bryan officially joins Jensen Outdoor as of August 25, 2025 and is initially charged with accelerating growth in the retail, design‑trade and hospitality sectors as Jensen Outdoor furthers its commitment to sustainable craftsmanship and elevated outdoor living.

“Bryan brings unparalleled expertise and a passion for the outdoor furniture industry,” said Eric Parsons, President of Jensen Outdoor. “As Vice President, he will initially focus his efforts on broadening our reach with top‑tier retailers, design trade professionals and hospitality clients—strengthening our position in every channel we serve.”

Bryan Echols brings over 30 years of leadership in the outdoor furnishings industry. A University of Georgia alumnus, he began his career representing brands such as Samsonite Furniture, Grossfillex, Shelley’s Cushions & Umbrellas, and Three Coins Imports across the Midwest and Southeast. From there, he spearheaded sales for Lloyd Flanders throughout the Carolinas before advancing to Senior VP of Sales and Marketing. He earned Casual Furniture Retailers Association Sales Representative of the Year in 1998, and twice won Sales Rep of the Year awards from manufacturers including Lloyd Flanders and Treasure Garden.

A respected industry leader, Bryan has served on the board of the International Casual Furnishings Association since 2013—chairing the ICFA Sales Representative Council in 2016 and earning ICFA Sales Representative of the Year honors in both 2010 and again in 2016.

Bryan’s arrival comes at an exciting inflection point for Jensen Outdoor as we continue to build toward the future. His extensive industry relationships and strategic mindset position him to expand Jensen’s market presence across retail partners, interior-design trade networks, and the hospitality world.
