Brandon, a dedicated student leader, is making a significant impact through his involvement in student government and civic service. During his tenure at Harrison Preparatory School, Brandon served as student body president as well as the co-chair of the Lakewood Youth Council and a member of the Lakewood Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
