In June 2002, Brandan's jaw was broken in a fight after a show. He went through surgery the next day. Though this resulted in Bleeding Through canceling their tour in support of Portrait of the Goddess, he recovered quickly enough to play at Hellfest 2002.

He was also managing a few bands including Letlive, Stray From The Path, For the Fallen Dreams, The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, Lionheart, All Shall Perish, and The Ghost Inside.
He started a side project with Atreyu frontman, Alex Varkatzas called 'I Am War'. Alex has described the music they are making together as "brutal heavy short fast blasts of metallic hardcore punk". They released one album "Outlive You All".
Bleeding Through played their final show on August 3, 2014, at Chain Reaction ending the band's 15-year career. He said they were proud of everything they have accomplished.
Brandan is the owner of Rise Above Fitness, a gym located in Huntington Beach. Brandan has also developed an apparel line for RAF and sells shirts, tank tops, hats, sweatshirts, and women's leggings.
