About Brandon

I am a seasoned sales and hospitality professional with over 18 years of experience in selling and managing hotels, restaurants, and private clubs. I attended Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania, then started my career in Hilton Head Island, SC, where I rented homes for vacationers and planned the logistics of their getaway in the low country! In 2009, I migrated back north to Pittsburgh and have enjoyed my time at various properties throughout the area, including The Wintergarden at PPG, Olive or Twist, Washington & Jefferson College, and most recently at The University of Pittsburgh. I’ve had the pleasure to work with and plan stays for former President Obama, catered events for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and worked throughout the northeast region planning memorable weddings and events. I am truly excited to start the next chapter of my career and look forward to meeting many new people at Treesdale Golf & Country Club!
