I am Brandon Jackson, I was a military child when I moved here to South Carolina. I have two older brothers and one younger sister. I graduated from Ridge View high school and played three sports in high school. In two of the sports I played, I went to state championships. I was also in multiple clubs in high school that mainly focus on improving and helping our community in any way. I am currently studying at Coastal Carolina University and majoring in exercise science. I am very passionate about helping other people and love learning knowledge to improve the health of the human body. My dream is to become a physical therapist so I can carry out my passions in my work. While attending Coastal Carolina, I am involved in a few clubs where I mentor elementary children, help other students to live a healthy lifestyle, and play a sport.
