DRIVER HISTORY
|
Brandon has been a lifelong fan of the sport. It was his dream to become a driver and his dream eventually became a reality 3 years ago when he became a professional. He had started at the age of 22 building trucks and driving them around Louisiana locally. Other than truck driving he owns a commercial and industrial air conditioning company. His hopes for this season is to have fun and gain popularity. More than others, he enjoys racing against any of the Gravedigger guys. His all time accomplishment has been that he has been able to acquire more than one truck….he currently has 4! His favorite stop on the Monster Jam series is New Orleans. This is of course because it is his hometown. The only reason he does what he does is for the fans. The advice he would give to others id to do good, strive hard and make it happen! You have to go after it! He also owns Excaliber and Tmaxx.
The most special moment in Brandon's career was how he was, and still is, able to touch the life of Reece Daniel Williams. Reece's diagnosis is craniosynostosis which is a premature closing of the skull's sutures. There are many people across the U.S. with this deformity but Reece had all the sutures in his head closed which is called kleeblattschadel or also known as "cloverleaf skull." There are only 2 people living in the U.S. with kleeblattschadel. Brandon retains a healthy bond with Reece ever since he got the opportunity to sign an autograph for him.
