Chandler Petty
Business Operations Manager
Chandler is the Business Operations Manager at Brackens Painting—known around here as “The BOM”. With nearly a decade of experience in the automotive service industry, she brought her exceptional organizational skills and customer-first mindset to Brackens in 2024 and quickly became essential to daily operations.
Though she’s no longer in the field, Chandler runs the show behind the scenes. From answering phones and scheduling appointments to managing and coordinating production calendars, ordering paint, and just about everything in between—she keeps the Brackens machine running smoothly so Kevin can stay focused on the big picture.
She lives in Berkeley County with her two sons, Lionel and Lucian, a Dalmatian named Bean and a Great Dane named Freyja. Chandler enjoys spending time with her boys and frequently participates in 5K runs in the local area.
A native of Jefferson County, Chandler now lives in Berkeley County with her boyfriend, two sons, and their energetic dalmatian, Bean. Outside of work, Chandler enjoys spending quality time with her family and is a dedicated runner. She regularly participates in 5k races and is working toward her goal of running 10ks, half marathons, and eventually full marathons.
Christian Rudy
Sales Manager
Christian “Rudy” Rudy is the Sales Manager at Brackens Painting, where he oversees residential and commercial projects—including interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, and garage floor coatings. A Berkeley County native, Rudy brings several years of sales experience to the team, and although new to the painting industry, his attention to detail and high customer service standards made him a clear choice when Kevin was building out the Brackens sales department.
Rudy lives in Martinsburg with his fiancée and their three beautiful children, along with their energetic pup, Tater—a dachshund/German shorthaired pointer mix. In his free time, Rudy enjoys hitting the golf course, cheering on the Baltimore Orioles, and spending time with his family. He’s also a dedicated youth basketball coach, passionate about mentoring young athletes and giving back to the local community.
Rob Leland
Assistant Operations Manager
Rob Leland is the Assistant Operations Manager at Brackens Painting, bringing structure, reliability, and a steady presence to the fast-paced world of field production. He supports the entire Brackens team by preparing starter packs of supplies for each crew, checking in on job sites daily to monitor progress and uphold Brackens’ high standards, and keeping the office in the loop with field reports. Rob plays a vital role in identifying and resolving potential issues early—so customers can relax knowing their project is in good hands. Whether it’s coordinating materials, handling logistics, or jumping in on a project at the office, Rob helps keep Brackens running like a top.
Originally from Washington, D.C., Rob moved to Shepherdstown in 1998 and proudly served as a firefighter with the District of Columbia Fire Department for 30 years before retiring in 2021.
