After graduating high school and briefly attending college, Brandon Pixley decided to change professions to fulfill a desire to serve his country and ultimately continue his family’s legacy of service. He joined the U.S. Army in 2002.
Veterans Day (Nov. 11) is just over a week away and today we shine the light on Brandon, an Army Veteran and CPS Energy’s Director of Cybersecurity. He is one of nearly 290 military Veterans working for the company.
Brandon said his desire to serve came from growing up in a military household. His father was the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, and his grandfather served in the 3rd Army in France under General George S. Patton. He also had a few cousins who served in the U.S. Navy.
Like other military families, Brandon’s family relocated many times over the years, living in Michigan (Brandon’s birthplace), South Carolina, North Carolina, California, Virginia, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Georgia and even Germany. Home, he said, was San Antonio, Texas, where he graduated from James Madison High School.
