Hello from Brandon Burton

[Brandon Burton]

Hello all!

It's been a while since I've visited this forum. I'd like to re-introduce myself, and make sure I've completed all the necessary steps to be a member.

I am the Education Manager for Legend Brands (Dri-Eaz, Unsmoke, Blue Line). Our school name has been recently changed to Restoration Sciences Academy.

As the Education Manager, I invest a significant amount of my time working with the IICRC and the RIA. Most recently, I am participating in the ANSI/IICRC S500 Update as a chapter chair and member of the consensus body. I also teach several certification courses, as do the other 10 instructors that make up our faculty.

I'd greatly appreciate the opportunity to read and contribute to the threads on this forum from that perspecitve.

Brandon is the Unhouse no longer being offered for Fire Damage Restoration Training?

All I see listed are the ASD classes on the Restoration Sciences Academy.

Thanks & Welcome back!

Hi Brandon!

Welcome to Mikeysboard.

Let me take this time to thank you for the work you do outside of your "regular job" that contributes so much to our industry.

Note to all here:

Brandon is one of the "good guys" in this industry.

You mean there's two of us?

 

[-JB-]

so we should only use our wiffle bats?

 

[Jim Pemberton]

You can bring any type of bat you want JB; Brandon is man enough to take it if need be.

 

[Greenie]

I see frat house whiffle paddle.

 

[Brandon Burton]

As far as the bats are concerned, just so you are forewarned, I prefer an Easton Tri-Shell, 27 oz, and I'm good for about 400'.

RE: the UnHouse

We are still offering hands on fire and smoke training there - our new website makes is a little challenging to find the courses (we're working on it). You need to select the "Fire" course to see the scheduled dates in Pittsburgh.

Jim -

Thank you. Given whom those words come from, they mean a lot.

Brandon

Brandon,

Long time no see. Missed you this year at Connections. Hows life ?

 

[Jack May]

I remember your name and wonder if it was from the Drieaz alumini forum from about 3-5 years ago after I did ASD.

Welcome anyway.

John in New Zealand
