Why This Mission Matters
For Brandon, movement is more than just rehabilitation—it’s a gateway to a healthier, more fulfilling life. Through years of experience in sports medicine, orthopedic care, and military service, he’s seen firsthand how staying active can transform lives. But movement isn’t just about the individual—it’s about connection.
That’s why he created Move Better Together—a platform that makes fitness more accessible, enjoyable, and social. Whether it’s walking your dog, exercising with friends, or supporting a loved one’s recovery, moving together builds stronger bodies, healthier minds, and deeper relationships.
With his upcoming book focused on dog fitness and wellness, Brandon is bringing this mission to a global audience, empowering people to move better, feel better, and live better—one step at a time.
