About

Raised by entrepreneurial parents in the DMV (Washington, D.C., Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia), I learned at a young age the importance of having a vision, and being able to execute it. Thus, I founded my first company in 2014 called Guanxi Innovations, a digital agency that specializes in marketing, web and mobile development, and branding. After experiencing internal communication problems in Guanxi and validating this pain point across other companies, I created GrindHub, a customizable intranet for small businesses and teams, as the remedy. To feed my passion for cultivating the DC tech and startup scene, I built DMV Startup, a one-stop resource for everything startup in DC Metro. When I’m not being awesome, you can catch me dancing salsa and bachata.

Brandon exhibits real entrepreneurial flair and innovative thinking. He is highly intelligent and knows how to capitalise on a good opportunity when he sees one.

Brandon is an expert in regards to conducting business between the world's two most powerful economies. The United States and China. If an American is to ever consider expanding their business into China. The wise businessman would choose to pick an individual who has worked within the business sector of both countries. Brandon is a rare breed who fits those qualifications.
