Biographie
Born and raised in San Antonio, Brandon passionately played every sport possible while in high school. Showing the same passion for sports by joining CrossFit and working with the box’s weight lifting coach, he began entering weight lifting competitions.
He says, “There is not a better feeling than seeing someone hit a new PR in the lifts after months and months of training. Seeing athletes work so hard to gain even 1 KG on the bar is so inspiring and motivates me to become the best coach possible.” His advice for someone who is new to weightlifting: "Weightlifting is a sport of precision, practice and patience. It is not a sport you can learn overnight, learn in a few weeks, or even a few months. It takes years to master the sport. Be patient, show up and practice and you too will fall in love with the sport."
