While Brandon is a newsroom leader, he also inspires others outside of work. Brandon is a recovering addict with nearly a decade of sobriety. His ability to share his story so openly has helped remove the stigma of addiction. His mission is now to share his story through his book, “Mascara Boy”, and speak at conferences about addiction and the stigma that still exists. Brandon is also the host of a hugely successful podcast he created called “Escaping Rock Bottom” where Brandon talks about all things addiction, recovery and hope. Brandon‘s unique story-telling ability allows people to feel comfortable opening up to him about their dark past.
