Meet Brandon!!

Hello, my name is Brandon Maes, I am a dedicated father and seasoned professional with a background in banking. For the past few years, I have excelled in the financial industry while finding true fulfillment in my role as a loving husband to Kelsie and a devoted father to my two children, Arya and Alaya. Family holds a paramount place in my heart, and when I am not immersed in my work or helping others, I enjoy the tranquility of the outdoors through fishing and camping.

Hailing from the tight-knit community of Springfield, Colorado, with a population of around 1,000, I like to think I embody the values of integrity, compassion, and community. As a proud Colorado native, I find solace and joy in supporting my favorite basketball team, the Nuggets. I also enjoy immersing myself in the power of music and enjoy mechanical work as cars are another passion of mine!

My true passion lies in empowering individuals to reach their full potential, whether through my work in finances or through my personal interactions. With a genuine desire to see others succeed and thrive, I embrace each opportunity to make a positive impact and foster growth in those around me!

Some fun facts about Brandon are:

  • I am so picky about food that I have literally never had a hamburger and I promise you are wasting your time if you try to entice me!
  • I enjoy cliff diving as I grew up in a rural community with a swimming hole nearby that we would go to as kids to cliff dive.
  • One of my favorite hobbies is working on cars because I like finding solutions to problems and knowing my work has a literal impact.
  • I am very passionate about basketball, and you better have a solid unbreakable argument as to why Jokic isn't the best player in the world right now.
  • I have a talent for numbers, as I am an introvert so numbers seem to speak to me - so yes, I can help with your math homework!
  • My secret guilty pleasure is probably buying shoes. I have an extensive shoe collection that somehow continues to grow.
  • A bucket list Item of mine would be to go deep sea fishing and land either a goliath grouper or a massive bluefin tuna.
  • If you happen to find yourself in a conversation about music with me, please have a top 5 best rapper list ready to go because I am super passionate about music.
  • I have never seen a star wars movie - not a single one but I could go on all day about Game of Thornes or my favorite movie, Without A Paddle.

Brandon's responses to some fun questions:

If I had a superpower, it would definitely be the ability to time travel without affecting the timeline so I can go back and revisit past events and relive good memories with loved ones as well as get to jump forward to the future and see what new and interesting advancements the world has made.

If I was a pasta shape, I would be the size of a mac-n-cheese noodle of sorts. I think life through the perception of something that size would be interesting as the possibilities are endless. 

If I was to enter a talent show I would probably DJ or something to do with music for sure. I cant sing to save my life but I might be able to put together a solid mix for 5 seconds of fame.

The most inspiring thing about my job is most definitely watching people bounce back, and to be apart of that journey is very inspiring!
