Speakers

In 2012, Brandon Schroeder's path as a speaker unfolded following a workplace incident in 2011. Having served as a journeyman electrician since 2002, he had envisioned a future in the electrical trade. Brandon was known for his proficiency, diligent follow-through, and on-time task completion. However, the pivotal moment of his accident led him to see an alternative journey awaiting him.

In 2012, he was approached to address a company about the circumstances of his accident. Despite initial reservations, Brandon agreed. Initially, he thought this would be a one-time endeavor, but he soon discovered that requests for his story would persist. More than a decade later, he continues to share his narrative, influencing safety perspectives. Brandon has delivered presentations for numerous companies, ranging from global giants to local co-ops. His objective remains singular—to reach that one individual who needs to hear his story.
