Storyteller • Actor • Writer

A deeply empathetic storyteller with a childlike sense of wonder.

Originally from San Diego and raised in Colorado, Brandon is a NYC based actor, teaching artist, and award-winning writer. Brandon holds an MFA in Acting from UNC-Chapel Hill (NC) and a BA in Theatre Arts from the University of Northern Colorado.

Since moving to NYC, he has pioneered his own work and was a co-producer on the Oppressed in Heels theatre project where he helped develop two original plays.

The first season of his digital series, SCRiBBLES, made a highly successful run of a domestic and international festival circuit collecting awards and nominations such as Best Writing, Best Acting, and Best Series. Most recently he created and co-wrote a new fictional podcast titled In the World of Sounds Or: The Radio Play About the Gun That Shot John Lennon.

As an actor, Brandon has worked at PlayMakers Repertory Co, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Little Theatre of the Rockies, New York Shakespeare Exchange and played David Geffen in The Lennon Report. Brandon currently works as a teaching artist in New York City coaching playwriting, silent film, stop motion animation, and Shakespeare performance.

He is happiest making messes, collaborating, dreaming up stories, and exploring the human condition.

My primary goal is to impact the world with bold, playful, and creative stories that remind us we’re all human - capable of great triumph, failure, cruelty, and love. I lead with empathy and want my stories to be catalysts for compassion in the world.

Hope is abundant and inspiration surrounds us!

ACTING

Fitted with a mischievous imagination and fascination for human behavior...

I love exploring heightened poetic spaces and have an affinity for the super stupid and deeply profound. I play with reckless abandon, follow joy and my offbeat sense of humor while remaining curious about what unlocks moments of authentic truth and connection.

WRITING

My stories are playful, engaging, and filled with interesting characters.

We are complicated, beautiful messes and sharing stories is how we connect to the world around us. I see the world in cinematic moments and intimate scenes. I write about loneliness a lot – the hunger for connection and the desire to be seen. I identify with rebels, outcasts, and individuals that set out on journeys of self-acceptance and discovery on this scary painful planet.

WEB SERIES

Like, literally -- his character breaks through the page and comes to life in the form of a three-dimensional, flesh and blood woman named Scribbles.
