Brandon is an enthusiastic, twenty year old man. He lives with his mother and three siblings. His mother is a single mom so he and his siblings work to cover household expenses. His love of cooking led him to open a small restaurant where he sells traditional dishes with chicken, pork skins and fried pork rinds.
His goal is to improve his restaurant and expand the variety of dishes with a la carte items. That is why he is requesting a Kiva loan so he can buy a grill, a griddle and a potato fryer. That way he will be able to make roasted meats and grilled meats to bring in more customers and improve his sales to earn a better profit. His future plan is to open up to three additional restaurants creating a roasted meat brand.
Brandon has always dreamed of traveling to the United States and hopes to be able to do so some day.
