Born and raised between New Orleans and Cincinnati, Brandon developed a natural passion for the events industry while living in Chicago, where he ‘figured out a way to get paid for playing,’ as Alan Watts famously said. A graduate of Kendall College with a degree in Hospitality Management, Brandon has spent the last 10 years orchestrating dynamic weddings, corporate, and special events across Chicago’s luxury hospitality and event brands. While spearheading the initial operational expansion of Curate Plan Styles’s wedding and nonprofit segments into Atlanta, he rediscovered his knack for perfecting creative operational logistics for high-stakes corporate events. His storied portfolio includes developing programs for The Department of Justice, The New Orleans Saints, as well as overseeing transportation logistics for The 2019 Chicago Special Olympics athletes and media pools. Often receiving praise for his inventive eye and calming presence on the day, the self-described ‘Maestro of Logistics’ finds fulfillment in orchestrating programs where all the pieces seamlessly come together to create unique personal moments, fostering lasting communities and connections. Excited for his future within the brilliant Mid-South Regional family and PRA’s growing reach, Brandon is committed to leveling up his certificates in Project and Event Management into CMP and DMCP certifications. In his free time, Brandon enjoys gardening, home cooking, exploring flea markets and thrift stores, outdoor adventures, historical dramas, and monochrome cityscape photography. His life motto: ‘If you shoot for the moon and you miss, hang on to a star.’ – Dolomite”
