About Brandon.

Based in Kentucky, USA, Brandon Brooks has a lifelong passion for the arts – especially music. After graduating from college with a music major, he taught percussion and worked in musical instrument manufacturing. Brandon took to tinkering by performing repairs on drums, eventually moving on to build them as well.

He also sold custom clothing for 8 years, and continues to use his understanding of color and coordination in his pipe work. Around this time, he took up pipe smoking in remembrance of his grandfather – his craft took off from there and he is widely known in the world of pipe making today.
