In 2015, Brandon was faced with the realities of Alzheimer’s disease front and center when his father was diagnosed. He immediately understood that this diagnosis would change the trajectory of his life forever.

Through his dad’s diagnosis, Brandon found his passion and inspiration to help others who are in similar situations by sharing his experiences. “I believe that sharing our stories is our superpower. We realize just how connected we all are when we have the courage to open ourselves up to others. You never know how your story can impact the life of someone else until you share. It just might save them,” says Brandon.

Brandon is the author of Rediscovering Dad and Discovering Myself: A Journey Through the Impact of Alzheimer’s and currently resides in the Washington, D.C. metro area. Learn more about Brandon at www.brandontheauthor.com.Click here to read all of Brandon’s articles on AlzheimersDisease.net.
