Brandon is a musician, poet, and home recordist who has been an avid music collector and audiophile since he was a teenager. In recent years, Brandon has become very interested in music in surround and thusly the area of home theater.

Only recently has Brandon decided to try his hand at writing for the enthusiast crowd, which he has been a part of for so many years. Before joining the crew at Big Picture Big Sound, Brandon's most recent adventures in journalism have found his Blu-ray Disc reviews published on Blu-ray.com.

When he is not writing, playing his Les Paul, or watching movies, you can find him listening to one of the SACDs, DVD-As, or CDs from his relatively large collection.
