“Brandon brought an amazing presence to our International Conference in London in 2014. We had over 350 attendees from all over the world representing every sector of society including ranchers, farmers, health practitioners, impact investors, and educated consumers.
Brandon speaks from the heart of a poet, explaining at every step how to maximize utility and flavor while honoring the animal’s life with the utmost respect. His ability to connect a diversified audience with a part of food production that gets far too little attention is unparalleled.
The one-of-a-kind visceral experience that he brought to our event was unlike anything else. In our post-event survey and through ongoing feedback we’ve heard that this was people’s favorite session of our event and put their experience over the top. We cannot recommend working with Brandon highly enough; he is a true gem!”

Brandon,
“Just a quick note to say thanks for the class this past weekend. Yes, I had a great time. yes, I learned a ton. But more than to simply communicate my appreciation of your time and energy, what I also came away with was a lasting impression you made as an instructor… you are eloquent, patient and humble with a perfect measure of meticulousness, with warmth. Your ability to work with a spectrum of folks appears effortless.
In short: I think you’re doing a stand-out job at sharing the passion and skills you possess. I left feeling enriched, engaged, enabled, even inspired, and I try not to use the word too often, but I was. So, big praise and admiration from me.”
Respectfully,
Tamiae
