    Camp Director

    Brandon received numerous other accolades while at USD: Freshman All-American,1st Team All-WCC, WCC Tournament MVP, WCC Player of the month. Years of commitment and hard work would finally pay off when Brandon was selected to compete in the NBA, playing for the Phoenix Suns Summer League and Pre-season with the Washington Wizards. Brandon would play professional basketball overseas for 8 years in Europe, South America, and China.

    When the ball stopped bouncing Brandon was able to establish himself as a Motivational Speaker and a Sports Betting Awareness Ambassador (SBAA), visiting Universities, Schools, and Organizations across the United States. In 2020, Brandon took an incredible leap of faith and launched his nonprofit organization called, ‘No Script’, formalizing his efforts regarding youth advocacy and life-skills education through his AWAKE (Actively Working Acquiring Knowledge

    Everyday) Program. This led to the creation of AWAKE Basketball and a partnership with Playground-Houston. With purpose in hand, Brandon is determined to utilize his journey to inspire others; life has “No Script”, but effort, perseverance, and faith turns commitment into visible success. Combine that with the amazing support system of Sam Ibrahim, Jamie Coote and Playground-Global the possibilities of impact are limitless.
