He Builds CTE That Works
Brandon launched a thriving Entrepreneurship program grounded in authentic projects, real business operations, and partnerships with organizations like Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Youth Business Alliance. His core belief is simple:
When learning is real, students rise.
