Brandon started his career at a Big 4 firm, but he was intrigued by FD’s vision and growth trajectory and could not pass up a chance to be a part of the FD team. FD created a path for Brandon to explore entrepreneurial opportunities such as building the firm’s Nashville advisory practice and later opening a new FD office in Las Vegas.

"FD provides a unique platform for growth like no other firm I know. FD's investment into the development of our people, not just technical skills, but true personal development, is second to none. I grew more personally in one year at FD than the previous ten years combined at a Big 4 firm. I'm thrilled for our team members at all levels to get that same opportunity."
