If you have only three names then you are on the right track..you need to put
quotes around names (text strings)

Try

=IF(B3="Brian",Sheet2!E2,if(B3="Cindy",Sheet2!E3,i f(B3="David",Sheet2!E4,"")))

In cell B7 I have the following:

=IF(B3=Brian,Sheet2!E2,if(B3=Cindy,Sheet2!E3,if(B3 =David,Sheet2!E4,"")

Note: Cell B3 is a list.
