Welcome to the VRC Staff Page

My Name is Jeff Brandon and I am the VRC Supervisor. I have been with Gorman since 2019, serving as a PLT, Lead Subject Expert Teacher, and Social Science Subject Expert Teacher. My own experience in higher education began at AVC where I graduated with my AA degree. After that, I attended Cal Poly SLO where I received my BA in History with a minor in Religious Studies. I continued my education there, receiving my teaching credential in 2007. After teaching for several years I decided to go back to school. In 2019 I completed my Masters in Theological Studies from Gateway Seminary. In all, I have served in education for 16 years.
