Brandon’s story has been one of love, family, and adventure, and now he is embarking on his second career at Benchmark as a financial advisor! He and his high school sweetheart, Dana, are the proud parents of Kentrell and Kennedy. He’s a man of many talents and enjoys spending his free time bass fishing, sharpening his cribbage skills, or enjoying a spirited game of pickleball. He’s also known to cheer for the New Orleans Saints and will talk about Wrestling to all who will listen. Whether on the water or at home, Brandon’s passions and dedication to his loved ones are always at the forefront.

After serving 20 years as a U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer and submarine veteran, Brandon transitioned from navigating the seas to helping clients chart their course to financial independence. A graduate of Columbia Southern University with a B.S.B.A. in Finance, he’s also a certified Dave Ramsey Financial Coach. Brandon is passionate about promoting financial literacy, especially among young adults, and specializes in strategic wealth-building, long-term wealth management, and comprehensive financial planning. He brings his positive attitude wherever he goes, and there is never a dull moment at Benchmark when Brandon is around.
