Brandon knows what it takes to turn a good idea into a great video, long before the camera starts rolling. As First Ascent’s Video Producer, he handles every stage of production, from planning and filming to editing and final delivery.
With nearly eight years of professional video experience, he knows how to turn a concept into a finished piece that captures attention and keeps people watching. Before joining FA in 2026, Brandon spent nearly four years as a Video Production Specialist at Holt’s Cigar Company. While he was there, the brand’s YouTube channel grew from around 2,000 subscribers to more than 195,000.
Away from the camera, Brandon enjoys hiking and exploring new places with his wife. He also makes time for photography and video games, two interests that keep his creative side busy outside of work.
Fun Fact: As a kid, he filmed comedy skits using his laptop’s webcam and made a ping-pong trick-shot video with his first camera. If a school assignment offered a video option, he was already sold, whether it was a history project or an ASL music video.
