Highlight one of your projects or accomplishments from your career:
Brandon is particularly proud of his successful involvement with the US Airways-America West merger. It was a huge project that involved making sure seats ended up in the right buildings and managing items from all over including model airplane memorabilia to an old propeller from D.C.

Describe one of the funniest or most creative ways you were able to book a piece of business. 
A project required storing and moving ancient ceramic artifacts for a museum. Brandon's team created a special photo-based inventory system for managing the treasures. They got the job!
