Joins HPAC as a Coach and Professional athlete. A Burlington native and graduate of North Carolina State, Graham enjoys helping the next generation of runners make their dreams a reality.
“I can’t overstate how much Brandon helped me as a runner (and I write about running as a living!) If you have a crazy goal, he’ll make it happen for you. But he also knows how to be flexible, adjusting your training week by week if life gets in the way.
Brandon got me to a mile PR and through a tough marathon. I have no doubt he will help you chase whatever crazy goal you have in mind.”
— Kit Fox, Special Projects Editor Runners World
