My name is Brandon and I’m a writer. I live in central California with my wife and daughter. My focus as a writer is to connect with human emotions. I use my own personal experiences and feelings to portray real-life characters that are dealing with real-life issues. I grew up in a fairly normal middle-class family, yet from a young child, I struggled with crippling anxiety. I would miss class for days. When I entered middle school, the anxiety was paired with depression—but it wasn’t until college when I realized I had depression, and much later in life when I labeled my anxiety. I share this with you because it’s these emotions that I tap into in order to help you, the reader, connect with the characters. Writing has become a therapy for me as I dive deep into my inner voices, letting them breathe through the stories I create. My hope is that you find familiarity with my stories and they inspire you to live with integrity and openness.
