Born and raised on the sunny shores of Vero Beach, Florida, Brandon Reed's story is one of passion, resilience, and unwavering spirit. Brandon was all about living life to the fullest—whether he was reeling in a big catch or tearing it up on his skateboard, he did it with passion and a big smile.

From the time he could barely hold a rod, Brandon found solace and excitement in fishing. However, he took a break to pursue a career in skateboarding. With a skateboard beneath his feet, he soared to new heights, his skill and determination propelling him to the forefront of the skateboarding scene. Sponsored by prestigious brands and celebrated as Skater of the Year at SPOT Tampa, Brandon's talent and charisma left an indelible mark on all who had the pleasure of witnessing him in action.

Brandon's journey took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Unable to skate due to his treatments, he picked back up his rod and reel and became a pro on the water too. His love for the sport soon made him a familiar face among the local fishing community. With his infectious enthusiasm and boundless energy, Brandon forged deep connections with fellow anglers, who welcomed him with open arms, treating him like one of their own.
