Brandon is proud of how well he manages his schedule — he plays club soccer year round, is on his school’s basketball team, and maintains great grades in school, all while managing T1D. Brandon is also active with JDRF and serves as a Youth Ambassador, participates in JDRF One Walk events with his team, “Brandon’s Brigade,” has participated in a clinical trial to help drive research, and speaks at various events to raise awareness about T1D.

Outside of school, Brandon loves playing video games, spending time with his family and friends, and traveling to different places. His favorite travel destinations are New York and California, and he is looking forward to heading to the UK for the first time this year!
