Brandon joined the GEF in 2021, and currently serves as the Director of Development at the Lobero Theater Foundation.  Previous to that, he was a member of the UCSB Development team for 15 years.  Brandon was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Psychology. 

He and his wife, Katie, enjoy supporting the local community and attending live entertainment both at the Lobero and the many other great venues our community has to offer.  Additional involvements include the First Presbyterian Early Childhood Center and volunteering as a coach for youth sports organizations.  He is also a member of the SB Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.  

Brandon and Katie are proud parents to a Dos Pueblos High attending son, and a daughter at Kellogg Elementary.  Goleta area education, as a result, is both a community interest as well as a family focus.
