Coming from Johannesburg, South Africa, Brandon was brought up on the inland water parks and lakes, finally following in the footsteps of some of his family into yachting. He obtained his first professional maritime qualification in 2009, helping his family run classes on the water, and is now aiming to have his Officer of the Watch license very soon. Brandon’s love of travel has taken him to many countries and he plans to keep ticking new destinations off his list. In his spare time he enjoys team based activities, a round of golf and will jump at the chance to get the fishing rods out.
