The Black Mountain Academy

Brandon enjoys working directly with our Leadership Team to implement and fulfill the vision of Black Mountain Academy. The Leadership Team strives to be collaborative and to learn from one another as we meet the needs and achieve the goals of our students and families. As a person who loves to perpetually learn, Brandon works with the team to examine meaningful ways for Black Mountain Academy to continue to grow and evolve to best serve our students, families, and local community.

Brandon has over 20 years of experience as an educatorĀ and therapist working with adolescents and their families in therapeutic schools and programs. During his tenure in a previous program, he developed and ran a very successful model focused on integrated care for boys with neurodevelopmental and learning differences.

Prior to becoming a therapist, Brandon spent time as a math and science teacher in public schools and as a guide on white water and climbing trips for adolescents. He loves being a dad, trail running, mountain biking, camping, fly fishing, woodworking, cooking, and being outdoors.
