He is one of the founding board members of the Arizona Cardiac Arrest Survivors group where he served as the training and recognition director. He has years of experience in public speaking, recognition, instruction, CPR/AED advocacy, AED program implementation, and counseling.

Brandon developed the Griffith Blue Heart programs and services when he returned to the field after his cardiac arrest and realized how unprepared the majority of law enforcement is for cardiac emergencies. He comprised his programs and much of the curriculum from the field where he uses his emergency medical training. Brandon has served as a field training officer, defensive tactics instructor, firearms instructor, crisis intervention officer as well as a SWAT and combatives instructor. His proudest accomplishment in life is being a father and husband.

Brandon strives to earn each day given and hopes to significantly impact survival rates and the cardiac community.
