From there, he went on to start his career at Erie Construction at the bottom level
working his way up to various top tier management positions in various different
cities including Greensboro, NC and Lansing, MI, his beloved second

business and marketing knowledge he learned at Erie, and went on to be a
successful entrepreneur opening Insurance Benefit Group of Toledo/SE

changing the name to Brandon Z Insurance Agency and is very proud that his
legacy of taking care of people's Health and Life Insurance needs with Love will
continue even though Brandon is no longer with us; he really enjoyed helping
others and treated his clients like family. Brandon also was an investor and
