Bio
Kurt Schiller
I've known Brandon for three years and have always found him to be one who gets the results he promises, and more often than not, over-performs. Adept at pulling together a team of different personalities, he provides clear guidance on expected goals and guidelines on how to achieve results. He is an out of the box thinker and applies common sense to his thought process. He garners respect from his teammates with his calm presence and even-handed approach to personality conflicts. He will succeed at anything he does.
