Brandon Arnold, a native to Phoenix, Arizona, has served in the educational space for nearly 20 years. He has had the privilege to teach in various capacities, such as public and private schools,homeschool co-ops, and various church settings. He has also been an entrepreneur the last five years, pursuing passive income through real estate investing and recently helping some childhood friends get a home services business off the ground called Simply Serve.

Brandon’s journey to teaching is one of humor and irony. Growing up, Brandon loathed anything related to learning. It wasn’t until he started following Christ at age 14 that this all completely changed. Once he was transformed by the light and truth of the Gospel, reading, learning, and sharing with others (teaching) became a natural obsession. But that’s not the whole story. After discovering the topic of spiritual gifts in high school and receiving multiple confirmations through family, friends, and church leaders that teaching was his call, Brandon pursued and obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with a Minor in American History through Southwestern College (now Arizona Christian University) and a Graduate Certificate in Biblical Counseling from Grand Canyon University.

No matter what sphere, whether it was information technology, finance, insurance, counseling, ministry, or real estate Brandon is always passionately pursuing a way to help others by facilitating “light bulb” moments. In this vein, Brandon’s goal is to provide an education to children that he himself did not receive: one that is personal, provocative, and practical rather than one that simply checks a governmental box. Most importantly, Brandon is a Christ-follower, a husband of nearly 17 years to his beautiful bride, Krystal, and he just recently became a father to his 5 th incredible child.
