Meet Willie Jervis

Braswell Family Spotlight

We are pleased to introduce you to Willie Jervis, who began his career in the egg industry with Glenwood Foods in 1986. When Braswell Family Farms purchased Glenwood in 1997, Willie stayed on board and worked diligently through the years to become our Vice President of Operations.

Willie has had 10 different roles throughout his 31 years in the industry and he says he truly enjoys the new challenges he faces with each new step he takes.

When asked what his day-to-day looks like, he just laughed because anyone who knows Willie, knows that he can get pulled in three different directions, literally! He keeps our three locations working together harmoniously, from our mill, to our farms, to our distribution center.

An “eggciting” fact about Willie is that he rides dirt bikes. You can occasionally catch him riding on the ATV trails near the James River in Virginia. Keep an eye out, he’s the one with the GoPro on his helmet!
