Brandon begins his seventh season covering cross country and track & field. He began compiling rankings and writing articles for both boys and girls cross country and track and field at Indiana Runner in 2001.

In high school, Brandon lettered five times while at Warren Central. He was a two-time team captain and ran varsity/junior varsity for one of the deepest XC teams in Indiana history (12 guys under 17 minutes). He was a part of two state XC qualifying teams (the 1999 edition winning the Franklin Central Semi State and placing 7th in Bloomington). In track, Brandon ran anything from 400 to 3200 meters.

Currently, Brandon recently completed his first year of teaching (physical education) and coaching at Eminence Community Schools. Eminence (K-12 enrollment of 582) is a small farming community approximately 20 miles southwest of Indianapolis. It is his first certified position after stops in Warren and Lawrence Townships. He had the opportunity to coach under two of Indiana’s greatest in Dennis McNulty (Warren Central) and Mike Holman (Lawrence Central). He coaches middle school and high school boys and girls cross country, high school boys basketball (assistant), and middle and high school boys and girls track and field.

Brandon lives in Avon (just west of Indianapolis) with his wife of three years (who is also a teacher) and his dog Buster. He hopes to turn Eminence into one of Indiana’s best small school programs and intends on starting a family soon.
