Brandon Allen is a North Carolina local with a working-class background and an entrepreneurial spirit that has fueled his journey across multiple industries. He got his start working on farms and in tobacco warehouses before earning his PharmD from the University of South Carolina in 2012. After relocating to Fort Worth, Texas, he took on various roles in pharmacy before purchasing a community retail pharmacy in 2016.
Business ownership brought both challenges and growth. By 2021, Brandon was on the verge of bankruptcy—but through perseverance, mentorship, and faith, he turned things around and made the business profitable again. Along the way, he realized his true passion lay elsewhere. In 2023, he sold the pharmacy and went all-in on Masterpiece Construction—a remodeling company committed to breaking industry stereotypes. The company quickly gained traction, generating over $1.1 million in revenue in its first full calendar year and continuing to grow. His story is one of perseverance, reinvention, and boldly pursuing purpose through each new chapter.
