The Black Mountain Academy

Brandon enjoys working closely with the Leadership Team at Black Mountain Academy to bring the school’s vision to life. Together, our team fosters a collaborative culture—learning from one another as we strive to meet the needs and support the goals of our students and families. A lifelong learner himself, Brandon is committed to exploring meaningful ways for Black Mountain Academy to grow and evolve in service to our students, families, and the wider community.

With more than 25 years of experience as both an educator and therapist, Brandon has dedicated his career to supporting adolescents and their families in therapeutic schools and programs. In a previous role, he developed and led a highly successful model of integrated care for boys with neurodevelopmental and learning differences.

Before becoming a therapist, Brandon taught math and science in public schools and guided adolescents on whitewater rafting and climbing trips—experiences that continue to shape his belief in the power of learning and growing through experience. Outside of work, he loves being a dad and enjoys mountain biking, live music, camping, fly fishing, woodworking, cooking, travel, and spending time outdoors.
