Brandon, a native of Seymour, Tennessee grew up in a home that was always brimming with life, housing four dogs, two cats, and seven horses.
His passion for veterinary medicine was not solely due to his love for animals, but also his deep fascination with the science and medicine.
His love for medicine made him unsure if his career path should be in human or veterinary medicine. His path became clear when he toured the University of Tennessee’s College of Veterinary Medicine, where he was captivated by the wide range of procedures, which included anesthetizing lions and birds.
Further experiences shadowing in a clinic near his hometown sealed his decision. Witnessing a C-section on a French Bulldog and an amputation on a German Shepherd blew him away and strengthened his passion for veterinary medicine.
Brandon graduated from Georgetown College in 2022 and is currently attending the University of Tennessee Knoxville’s College of Veterinary Medicine, with an expected graduation date of May 2026.
During this externship, he is eager to work with doctors and explore diverse aspects of medical practice. He is excited to discuss cases with the doctors and expand his knowledge. This is
Brandon’s first time in Las Vegas and he is excited to explore the strip, Fremont street, and the great outdoors at Zion National Park, Red Rock Canyon, and the Valley of Fire State Park.
Outside of his academic pursuits, Brandon is an outdoors enthusiast who enjoys hiking, camping, and fishing. He also played college football and started a business in athletic training.
Currently, he shares his love with his chocolate lab, Dixie, and two horses, Charlie and Trigger.
A naturally curious person, Brandon is always eager to ask questions, learn new things, and share his knowledge with others. His parents’ continuous support and his belief in making the most of life’s opportunities are his greatest motivators
