He moved to Jacksonville, FL to attend the University of North Florida then finished his Bachelors in Business Management at Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk, VA.
Outside of work:
When not working Brandon enjoys working on cars, doing the landscaping, remodeling the house, and getting into carpentry projects just to build things. As his young boys get older he is looking forward to teaching them some of these skills as a way to spend more time with his family. He also likes to travel and see new places and enjoys reading (mostly factual historical books). He is a huge fan of NASCAR.
