Meet Brandon Myers: Men and Women Building North America Series

If you only knew him by his job title—Manager of Data Privacy and Information Security—you might assume Brandon Myers spends his days quietly buried in spreadsheets and compliance manuals. And sure, sometimes he does, but that’s only one side of the story.

Because when Brandon closes his laptop at Kloeckner’s Roswell, GA, corporate office, life kicks into high gear. He’s teaching golf lessons, recording fantasy sports podcasts, practicing Taekwondo, and catching his favorite bands live. And once upon a time, he was ranked sixth in the world in double nunchucks.

As Brandon himself likes to put it, “Sometimes the most boring jobs go to the most interesting people.”

From Coca-Cola to Kloeckner

Brandon came to Kloeckner in 2017 after working at Coca-Cola. At Coke, the perks were undeniable: on-site restaurants, gym facilities, and primo seats at concerts and sporting events. In a company that size, though, it was easy to feel like one voice in a very large choir.

“Kloeckner gave me independence,” Brandon says. “I felt like I had a voice here. I could work across departments, develop my communication, and actually see the impact of what I was doing.”

He started as an IT auditor at Kloeckner, working closely with CFO Angela Villamar to enhance the company’s audit program. Over eight years later, his role has evolved into protecting data privacy, defining IT best practices, and ensuring compliance.

It’s serious work, but Brandon thrives on the detail and discipline it takes. Maybe that’s because discipline has always been a through-line in his life, even when it shows up in some pretty unexpected places.

Concerts, Crowd Energy, and 150+ Bands

Outside the office, Brandon rarely slows down. Ask him how he spends his evenings and weekends, and you’ll get a list that sounds more like a highlight reel than a schedule.

He’s seen more than 150 bands across 30 different venues. His all-time favorite, My Morning Jacket, he’s caught live over 30 times.

What’s the draw? “It’s the energy,” he says. “Everyone in the crowd is there for the same reason. You know the words, they know the words, and everyone’s just in their happy place.”

He recalls one night when the lead singer pointed right at him and tossed guitar picks and drumsticks into the crowd. None made it to his hands, but the recognition was enough. “Just that little nod of, ‘Yeah, we see you out there,’ was amazing.”

Big shows are great, but Brandon especially loves catching indie rock bands in smaller venues before they blow up. In Cincinnati, where he lived before Atlanta, he saw groups like the Black Keys and Kings of Leon on their way up. “Those nights are special because you feel like you’re in on a secret before the rest of the world catches on.”

Nunchucks and Fantasy Football

As if that wasn’t enough, there’s also the part of Brandon’s story that tends to make jaws drop. For years, he trained in Taekwondo, eventually joining a demonstration team and traveling for national competitions. At one point, he ranked sixth in the world in double nunchucks.

“It sounds a little wild, but martial arts teach you discipline, focus, and control,” Brandon says. “It started as a sport, but the self-defense side of it is always useful.”

These days, his sporting life looks a little different. Instead of competitions and demonstrations, he spends much of his free time on the golf course, playing multiple times a week and even teaching lessons to adults who want to learn the game.

And when he’s not on the green, he’s podcasting about sports. Brandon co-hosts weekly fantasy baseball and football shows for Razzball, breaking down player trends, trades, and call-ups. “It started as fun, but it’s made me a better communicator. You have to keep the audience engaged, which translates to how I share information at work, too.”

A Life in Motion

If Brandon’s schedule sounds exhausting, it doesn’t feel that way to him. He thrives on keeping busy. “I always thought I was a laid-back, go-with-the-flow person,” he says, “but I guess I really like having my schedule filled.”

He laughs about how even chores get mapped out. “I’ll say, okay, I’ve got an hour between this and that to do dishes, throw in some laundry, then I’ve got a podcast, then I can flip the laundry after dinner.”

It’s a rhythm that suits him. At work, he brings steadiness and precision to a role that demands it. Outside of it, he channels that same discipline into a life packed with concerts, podcasts, golf lessons, and the occasional spin with nunchucks.

What ties it all together, Brandon says, is connection. “Whether it’s protecting someone’s information, being in a crowd at a concert, or helping someone improve their golf swing, it’s about building trust and sharing experiences.”

At Kloeckner, people like Brandon remind us that the ones behind the metal aren’t defined by job titles alone. They’re musicians at heart, athletes, teachers, podcasters, and yes, sometimes martial artists. They bring energy and passion to every part of their lives.

And in Brandon’s case, you might even find them wielding a pair of nunchucks.
