Mark Johnson, staff writer Hardworking, Professional, Porsche Man It takes a tremendous amount of stamina to stand in an operating room all day. Anyone holding a role in that room must be well-trained, knowledgeable, and skilled to assist in surgery. In the case of one such PCar professional, even though he is not a doctor or a surgical nurse, his input during an operation is crucial for the well-being and long-term prognosis of the patient. Brandon Lee, our Porsche Man, is a medical device salesperson. Beyond selling and providing the medical prosthesis for the required surgical procedure, he must be an active participant in assisting the skilled physician during the replacement process. Brandon’s specialty is in the lower back structure and his input assists the primary surgeon to repair a patient’s affliction. Long hours are spent with the surgical teams. As a Territory Sales Manager for
the Stryker Corporation Brandon can be found working in hospitals in Miami, the Keys, and the Virgin Islands. It is a large geographical area to cover, and requires a unique skill set to remain proficient and effective. It is not uncommon to see Brandon, still in his hospital scrubs, coming into a Thursday evening event with his fellow Porsche jockeys for a margarita after a long day. Those long days also require a way to release some tension and stress. Hence, an enjoyment of the Porsche marque and the simple thrill of driving such a capable and exceptional machine. Brandon joined Gold Coast Region shortly after he acquired his first Porsche in 2016. Today, he owns a total of four Porsches: a 1985 994 in red, a 1987 944 Turbo in black, a 2003 911 Turbo in red

(for which the search took 8 years), and a 2013 Carrera S that is also black. This is quite a collection for anyone, yet in speaking with Brandon we understand that he would still like to acquire an aircooled Porsche. So, the hunt is on, albeit at a relatively mild pace given the current Porsche values. Every one of the four cars in the collection is full stock, with only regular maintenance performed, and no personal modifications. We wonder where he keeps them all.
Well, Brandon keeps his Porsches in his garage of course (and one 944 in the driveway). As with many in the Porsche community, Brandon appreciates the people every bit as much as the vehicles themselves. He participates in the Amelia WERKS Reunion, the Miami DRT events, and has been to a Porsche Parade or two. He is also active in the many cars and coffee events that are held between Miami and Palm Beach and has been seen at the 3rd Thursday event for GCR in Coral Springs. He also gets out frequently with his buddies on those other Thursday evenings to visit, talk PCar, and enjoy the camaraderie. Certainly, meeting friends for dinner, happy hour, and a Porsche meet & greet are always a main part of the plans.
