Born in Oceanside, California to a Marine Corps man, Brandon's strong work ethic was more of a birthright than a choice. At the of 15, his first job was as a grill cook at McDonald's. Brandon moved to Georgia after graduating from high school. At the age of 18, he started working at his uncle's hotel staffing company.
What began as a way out of a small military town turned into a career he would love to hate. He has been employed in the hospitality industry for over 20 years. From the Westin to the Ritz to the Marriott Marquis, Brandon has worked in most of the major downtown Atlanta hotels. His previous job titles included houseman, steward, dishwasher, waiter, and, even a bartender, and all the while training to take over the day-to-day operations of Dependable Staffing Solutions.
As a result of his excellent leadership skills, Brandon was able to step into the role of General Manager with ease. When he started at Compass Group, he didn't know what to expect from "Corporate America," but he knew how to do his job. He has risen from cashier to manager in three years while playing many roles in between. Brandon is passionate about the needs of his clients and his employees. He always stays until the job is done, and he expects the same from his staff.
He considers training and preparation a must, not an option, because, in his words, "I can't get mad at you if you don't know how to do it." Brandon's ongoing mission is success: success for his clients, his staff, his family, and himself.
