In this role, Brandon empowers the people of Trinity to proclaim the Good News of God in Christ by promoting justice, peace, and love in ministries of service. He also helps to oversee Trinity’s ministry of welcome and hospitality to newcomers.

Before coming to Trinity, Brandon served in parishes in Cleveland Heights, Ohio and Austin, Texas, and began his ordained ministry as a hospital chaplain in Minneapolis, where he met his husband, Bob Vroman. Prior to attending seminary at Yale Divinity School, Brandon worked for many years in Wall Street corporate communications in New York City. Originally from Mississippi, he completed his undergraduate studies at Sewanee, an Episcopal college in Tennessee.

Brandon and Bob live in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, where they enjoy spending time with their rescue dachshund, Miss Coco, and embracing their role as “funcles” to their two young newphews.
