As a co-founder of Building a Refuge, Brandon faced his own mental health battle after the loss of his brother in 2015 by suicide. This very challenging event drove him to showcase the importance of bringing awareness around men’s mental health in our local community. Brandon and his wife, Sheri, reside in Carmel, Indiana along with their two adult children. As a family, they dedicate every opportunity to support this very important cause.

I’ve has always been the sort of guy who follows my dreams, takes risks and tries the newest thing. In a previous life I built houses, raced jet skis professionally and was snowboarding down mountains in the 1980s when nobody had heard of such a thing. (People thought i must’ve gotten lost on my way from the beach!)
I’ve always been drawn to what’s fun and interesting. I go where the action is.
But in between whatever else i was plunging into, I always carried around video equipment to capture the coolest thing I was up to. Over time i built up expertise in producing professional-quality sound and imagery. And i acquired a sense of what pleased other people, too.
I still have my wild man streak, but have tamed enough to become a first-class project manager and team leader. At LDR Studios I spends my time making daydreams come true
