Born and raised on the north side of Chicago, Brandon enjoyed the natural areas that Chicagoland has to offer since his youth. The Caldwell woods was one of his favorite places to explore, which helped shape his love for the outdoors. He left Chicago in 2014 to attend university, and spent time living in rural Wisconsin and Vermont during his studies. His time in these areas further fueled his love for the outdoors.

He has spent his time after university working in the Recreation and Education fields all across the United States and Canada, encouraging people of all ages to connect to with the outdoors. In his free time, he enjoys coaching youth soccer, writing, and hiking.
