I’m an experienced Jiu-Jitsu instructor with over a decade as a black belt, currently holding my 3rd degree since graduating in 2011. Actively competing at a high level fuels my passion for the art, and I love sharing that enthusiasm with others. Working with children has been particularly rewarding, as I help them build confidence, discipline, and respect through martial arts. I’m committed to lifelong learning and believe in Jiu-Jitsu’s transformative power both on and off the mat, always seeking new challenges for personal and professional growth.

I have been playing lacrosse for over a decade and my love for the sport is only growing on the west coast! I will help cultivate player’s skill, game IQ and confidence through focused training. I am Offensive Midfielder at a top 10 Division 3 program and have been coached by NCAA Division 1 championship coaches throughout my development as a player. Additionally, I played and coached for my club lacrosse team Mass Elite Lacrosse which has sent players (and friends I played against) to the top programs across the country. My focus is on shooting, dodging, stick work, IQ and conditioning. Let's elevate your game together!

I was a four-year varsity player at Oberlin College and currently work in economic consulting. I am also currently building a post-match feedback platform for competitive players (we are currently demoing the product for a select group of players). Outside of tennis, I completed a 2,800 mile walk across America a few years ago and am currently training for an Ironman. I value discipline, consistency, and long-term development, and I enjoy working with players who want to improve and are willing to put in the work.

I highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking to learn or refine their basketball fundamentals!
