Brandon is a U.S. Army Veteran with eight years of service and a deep respect for the land, lifestyle, and people that make Ohio special. After coming home, he studied Natural Resources at Hocking College, focusing on field biology, mapping/GPS, wildlife management, and native plant and tree identification—skills he now applies daily in the world of rural real estate.
   As a trusted land and country property specialist, Brandon has helped clients across the state buy and sell everything from secluded getaways and hunting tracts to working farms and rural homes. He brings boots-on-the-ground experience to every deal, understanding not just how to list a property—but how to truly represent the land. From walking fence lines and identifying timber value to helping buyers understand topography, soil, and access, Brandon knows what matters when you're buying or selling in the country.
   Raised in Southeastern Ohio, Brandon has spent his life outdoors—hunting whitetails, chasing spring gobblers, hiking the Hocking Hills, and searching for arrowheads with his family. After purchasing land of his own, he and his wife are now raising their two sons to love and respect the land the same way. Both serve as 4-H advisors, helping pass down rural values and outdoor traditions to the next generation.
   Brandon’s background in land, agriculture, and timber runs deep. A former FFA Vice President and 4-H Club President, he earned his Ohio State FFA Degree and competed in forestry and timber events across the state. He understands that Ohio’s land—whether it’s a small hobby farm, a cabin in the hills, or a large family operation—is more than a transaction. It’s part of a way of life.
