He is looking forward to the long-term success of the Oak Hills Swimming and Diving team. 

Brandon, a 2004 graduate of Oak Hills High School, has been coaching the sport of diving for more than 20 years. A lifelong Highlander, he has spent his entire coaching career with the Oak Hills Diving program. He began as an assistant coach for two seasons before taking over as head coach, a position he has held ever since.

Throughout his career, Coach Brandon has worked with divers of all ages and ability levels, ranging from elementary-aged athletes to Masters competitors. His extensive coaching experience includes leading and managing numerous teams while helping athletes reach success at every level of competition. Divers under his guidance have earned conference, state, national, and NCAA championships, along with numerous other individual and team accomplishments.

Brandon graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2012 with a degree in Middle School Education. He works in the Oak Hills Local School District at Rapid Run Middle School, where he has been a full-time staff member since 2018, working with students in the EBD unit.

When he is not coaching or working with students, Brandon enjoys spending time with his three boys. He volunteers his time coaching many of their sports, including baseball, soccer, football, and, of course, diving.

Brandon and his boys enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, whether visiting amusement parks and national parks, camping, or finding their next adventure. When they aren't on the go, they enjoy relaxing at home with pizza and games.

As an Oak Hills alumnus, educator, coach, and parent, Brandon takes great pride in serving the Highlander community and continuing to develop the next generation of Oak Hills divers.
