Brian Luftman founded American Farm Investors after leaving a successful career as a commodities trader in Chicago. American Farm Investors specializes in locating and managing grain-producing farmland for private investors. In part, "grain-producing" means corn grown for Maker's Mark bourbon. Brian is working with Patrick Madden in Lexington, Wilderness Trail Distillery in Danville and partners in England to bring a new bourbon to life and help Britons develop a happy bourbon habit. "Never Say Die" bourbon takes its name from an extraordinary Kentucky colt that ran a great race in England and also brought benefits to some young musicians who eventually became the Beatles. Listen and be amazed. Brian also sits on the Board of Directors for the Bluegrass Angels Venture Fund. He is an active angel investor and Chairman of the Board for Gryphon Environmental, a multi-national industrial waste drying company.
