Brandon Shafer

CPA

Manager, Tax & Advisory

Growth never takes a day off

If Brandon isn't at his desk, there's a good chance he's chasing his next adventure. From spending a month in Alaska playing baseball and mountain climbing to taking spontaneous fishing trips and road-tripping for a special bourbon release, he's always up for a good story. One of his most memorable trips? A last-minute two-day excursion to Lake Michigan that ended with plenty of trout and salmon.

When he's not outdoors, Brandon enjoys lifting weights, reading philosophy, and continuously challenging himself to grow both physically and mentally. A loyal Detroit sports fan, he's passionate about faith, family, lifelong learning, and finding ways to improve every day.
