As a nationally recognized speaker, Brandon combines his pastoral heart with real-world experience to empower the next generation of leaders in his role as Teaching Pastor at Valley Church in West Des Moines.
Brandon and his wife Keri have been married for over 25 years and are raising three incredible boys. When he's not speaking or leading, you'll find him perfecting his Chicago-style pizza recipe or showing off his questionable ninja moves in impromptu sparring matches with his sons.
