The Hives for Heroes organization has been courting her expertise for some time now as she is highly decorated in the military and on active reserve. She experiences the bees almost daily at the TechnipFMC apiary. Brandi has more credentials than can be listed here; however, we hope to capture the impressiveness of this woman here.

Her goals for Hives for Heroes are to strategically aid in helping the organization expand and to connect as many veterans as possible to beekeepers globally. In addition, she will focus on helping develop processes to support the expansion of the organization and to help connect with agencies, companies, and leaders that believe in the mission and the benefits to Veterans and our local communities.

Brandi is married to Mark Peasley, a retired Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel, and they call Houston, TX home.

We are beyond grateful for this incredible woman’s innovative mind and leadership.
