When he was 18 years old, Brandon joined the US Marine Corps to serve his country and be part of something bigger than himself. After 13 years of service and 3 tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, he left the military after being injured in the line of duty. But, like many veterans, adjusting to civilian life was difficult. Giving up his brothers in arms had felt like losing a piece of himself and was a large reason he eventually turned to substances for relief. Brandon found his remedy at Tree House’s team-centered program where he now works as an ABIT counselor. His goal is to help every client leave Tree House with their own band-of-brothers so they never struggle alone.
