Becoming Part of Parks Zeigler

Wanting to be more entrepreneurial and hands-on in helping run and grow a business, Brandon decided to merge his practice with Kellam’s. Not only were Brandon and Kellam long-time friends and had worked together in two different firms, Brandon appreciates Kellam’s detail focus, implementation of firm-wide processes and procedures and the application of technology to better serve our clients and to become more efficient. Our application of technology is generally focused on (1) becoming more efficient, (2) better serving clients by assisting in real-time communication, and (3) allowing client’s instant and 24-hour access to their files. At work, Brandon finds the most enjoyment with helping individuals and small businesses find creative and effective solutions to their problems.

Brandon and his son traveled to France for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. What a memorable trip it was. They visited the invasion beaches, did a two-day guided tour, and walked the field at Brecourt Manor (as seen in the second episode of Band of Brothers). The most touching experience was their visit to the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer. They met nine D-Day Veterans and heard taps being played under a clear blue sky. There was not a dry eye in the place, his included.

Brandon has also traveled to England, Spain, Central America, and several Caribbean islands.
