From that he was the lead designer on Monster Jam for two years, developing items like the "Then & Now" series, the "Mighty Minis" line, as well as numerous 1:64, 1:43 and 1:24 scale replica Monster Jam trucks and play sets. He is currently the team leader overseeing play set development for Monster Jam, Entertainment and Matchbox brands.
Brendon got his start designing 1:64 Hot Wheels® cars for the 2010 Model year with the 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 and the 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396. He continues to help the basics team with more vehicles each year with other cars like the 1972 Ford Torino Gran Sport, 1969 Shelby Mustang GT500, 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone, 1967 Olds 442, 1967 Ford Bronco, 1970 Chevy Blazer, 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, 2011 Dodge Charger R/T, 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SD455, 1981 Chevrolet Camaro, K.I.T.T., 1985 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z, 1984 Hurst/Olds, Subaru B.R.A.T., 1970 AMC Rebel Machine, Highway Hauler 2, 1955 Chevy Gasser, 1971 Plymouth Satellite, 1958 Plymouth Belvedere, 1976 Chevrolet Chevette, 1988 Jeep Wagoneer, 1980 Dodge Power Wagon, 2014 C.O.P.O Camaro, Mountain Mauler as well as the Elite K.I.T.T., K.A.R.R., and Herbie the Love Bug in 1:18 and 1:43 scales.
Although he's not on the basics team, Brendon is no stranger to vehicles or Hot Wheels. He's been collecting Hot Wheels® and other vehicle related toys since the early 1990's and has been designing vehicle toys throughout his career. When he's not at work he is likely working on his own project car (a 1967 Pontiac Firebird), helping others with their cars or at some car related event.
