American Ninja Warrior 11[]
He competed in Tacoma, where in qualifying, his run was cut, but he failed the Lightning Bolts. Luckily, he placed 24th overall and moved on to the city finals.
In the city finals, he got huge air on the Barrel Roll, but like qualifying, he failed the Lightning Bolts, slipping on the final cradle. He did not move on, as he placed 22nd.
American Ninja Warrior 14[]
He competed three seasons later in the third qualifying episode. His run was cut, but he failed Salmon Roll, once again going on the fifth obstacle. Like just in ANW 11, he placed 24th overall.
He later competed in the third semifinals episode. His run there digested, but he was shown wearing a custom onesie outfit and also custom made shoes. On the course he cleared the fifth obstacle for his first time, getting past Hopscotch, but his custom shoes seemed to have bad grip as he ended up falling all three of his attempts at the Warped Wall and he once again didn't move on to the national finals, as he once again placed 22nd overall.
American Ninja Warrior 16[]
Brandon competed on ANW 16 in the fifth qualifier. Here, he made it to the fifth obstacle for his third time, before running out of steam on The Cubes. He placed 12th overall, which put him in the runoff races for the final spot in the semifinals. He went on to face Jesse Maurer in the runoffs, where Brandon shockingly failed the Flying Shelf Grab, ending his season.
