   abstract: Brandon started his career in 2008 as a Hydrologic Technician with the
     Arizona Water Science Center in Tucson.  His work focused on streamgage calibration,
     surveying, and water-use investigations.  In 2012, Brandon joined the team as
     a Hydrologist and focused his work on surface-water modeling to improve the
     understanding of ephemeral river channel processes.  During that time his focus
     turned to the use of close-range remote sensing techniques using uncrewed aircraft
     systems to enhance data collection.  Brandon also specialized in the response
     to natural disasters and led teams in the collection of information to better
     understand the effects of major riverine flooding in Texas, flooding and storm
     surge during Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Maria and supported the response
     to the 2018 eruption of Kilauea.In 2021, Brandon joined the Colorado Water Science
     Center as the Studies Section Chief of the Southeastern Office in Pueblo.  Brandon
     worked with a team of Hydrologists and Hydrologic Technicians studying the water
     resources of the Arkansas River Basin.  In 2022, Brandon became the Associate
     Center Director overseeing the Hydrologic Data Collection Program for the State
     of Colorado.  Brandon works with a team of about 60 Hydrologic Technicians who
     maintain the roughly 355 streamgages, 110 raingages/meteorological sites, and
     125 real-time water quality monitoring stations within Colorado.
