This is one possible way, based solely on the HTML sinppet posted so far :

var query = "//span[@class='glyphicon glyphicon-user']/following-sibling::text()[1]";
var username = document.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode(query);
Console.WriteLine(username.InnerText.Trim());

Basically the XPath looks for span with certain class attribute value, and then return the nearest text node located after the span. There might be a better way depending on your exact need and the actual HTML structure.
