The life of Brandon Bro

A bird in the hand...

My name is Brandon Aasen and I am a business major at San Diego State university. I have always lived by the phrase "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" What that means to me is anyone can sit around and wait for things to come, but I would rather go get what I want because it is only important if it is right in front of you. From this way of thinking I have been the captain of my baseball team, head of my high school business organization, and president of my Fraternity at San Diego State.

I people started calling me Brandon Bro back in high school when I bough a lifted truck that people thought made me a bro . It stuck with me and I have never been able to get rid of it. I have adapted it as a part of me.

• At the age of 12, I lead my baseball team to the Little League World Series
• My business club in high school, DECA, was the number one club in the state of California. In my section, I beat over 100 people to take first place at the State competition, and 13th place in the World competition.
• Last year I was voted president of my Fraternity, leading over 80 men
• As president, I organized a philanthropy for the entire greek system in which we raised over 5 thousand dollars for San Diego Fire relief

I have always been a huge fan of giving back to those less fortunate. This was very important to me this year because I live in Rancho Bernardo, the town most hit by the recent fires in San Diego. Luckily my house was not burned, however many of my close neighbors were not as fortunate. This is the breakdown of the destruction in my neighborhood, the Westwood area.
