In defense of Jay Brummett's character...
Unfortunately, after a short marriage, my former spouse decided to launch a slander campaign against me, including a website with my name and the word 'fraud' in the URL.
Normally I am a "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" kinda guy, but in the internet age, especially as a long time free lance consultant, recruiters and potential clients will sometimes "Google" your name and possibly be scared off by accusations, even if they are false.
So, after spending quite a bit of time in thought and prayer about it, and asking for advice from trusted friends and family, I am creating this post and asking anyone willing to tell their viewpoint in defense of my character to please feel free to do so.
Instead of accusing others, I'd like to have others, who feel it is appropriate and true, to come to my defense.
Thank you,
James "Jay" Brummett
I’ve known Jay for quite a few years, he is kind, honest, hardworking, thoughtful ,and intelligent.
ReplyDeleteI’ve known Jay for more than 20 years and he is exactly the man he says he is; straightforward, intelligent, honest, and hardworking. His ex-wife is exactly the opposite.

ReplyDeleteEven in challenging times, it’s important to remember that Jay Brummett is more than any accusation or rumor. Those who know him personally have seen his kindness, his humor, and the ways he’s shown up for others. It takes strength to face adversity with integrity, and Jay deserves to be seen as a whole person — not just through the lens of current circumstances. No matter what happens, empathy and fairness go a long way in reminding us all of our shared humanity.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first met Jay when he hired me to represent him in a couple of real estate transactions, both a purchase and a sale. Over the course of those deals, I got to know him not just as a client, but as a friend.
ReplyDeleteJay has always come across as a genuinely good guy, the kind of person who treats others with kindness, fairness, and respect. He’s generous with his time and considerate in his dealings, both professionally and personally. In my experience, Jay is thoughtful, honest, and the type of person who tries to do right by people, even when it’s not the easiest route.
It’s unfortunate that anyone would try to damage his reputation, because that couldn’t be further from the person I’ve come to know. I have no hesitation standing behind Jay’s character, he’s a solid man with good values and a good heart.
I have known Jay for 6 years. I first met him on a project we were on together. We connected and became friends and from that we meet on a regular basis. I met Jay before he was married to his ex-wife. I saw Jay in both business and his personal life. He has always been an honest and forthright person. I have watched Jay as he has navigated this divorce and now slander. I have seen him handle this with strength and resolve and always taking the high road. I am very proud to be able to call Jay friend!
ReplyDeleteJay was kind, respectful, thoughtful, and generous to me from the very day I met him. We bonded over our common love of American history, and he became a good friend. He is an intelligent, upstanding man.
ReplyDeleteI've worked with Jay for over 25 years and would continue to hire him as a consultant and partner at any company I work for, no questions asked. He brings not only value to every relationship and interaction he is involved with, but also an expertise and attention to detail not seen in the workplace or world in general these days. I'm glad to have met him so many years ago and to be able to work with Jay and call him my friend.
ReplyDeleteI’ve know Jay my entire life because Jay is my cousin. He has always been so kind to me and others. Ever since my parents have passed away, he checks in on me constantly and whenever I need support I can call him in a second and he picks up the phone and states, “How are you cousin?” Our entire family thinks and knows Jay as a kind, intelligent, funny, honest and loving person. I know that when marriages break up it can be painful but the character assassinations that I have read and seen have been not true of my cousins character. Jay is introspective and has zero problems in admitting and correcting his wrongs. He is one of my favorite people and I will vouche for him in a second any time of the day!
ReplyDeleteJay has been a mentor, friend, and great teacher over the years. He’s consistently respectful, supportive, and dependable, always the first to offer help and encouragement. I’m proud to know Jay and can confidently attest to his character and genuine authenticity.
ReplyDeleteI have known Jay for nearly 13 years. We have worked together at multiple companies as well as collaborated on podcasts. He has always been a trusted partner and co-worker. His thoughtfulness, energy and professional insights have been invaluable to the teams he has worked with. Above all that, he's a great guy to be around, to bounce ideas off of, and to strategize better ways to work. I'm excited to continue working with him and collaborating with him, you couldn't find a better PM or Agile coach.
