Kerry and his wife Barb dreamed of making a tangible impact, and in 2008, they joined LiveDifferent in Mexico for their first Build with their three kids. Today, Kerry serves as the Chair of LiveDifferent’s board, helping guide the organization’s vision and growth.

Kerry is a co-owner of Paul Brandt Trucking, a family-run business founded in 1971 by his father. Paul Brandt Trucking has been a dedicated financial supporter of LiveDifferent since the beginning of the partnership. Beyond their contributions, Kerry and his family have personally participated in Builds, and other members of their business have also become active supporters.

The Brandt Family House, based in Rosenort, Manitoba, has been a home away from home for LiveDifferent’s road teams since 2010. Hosting more than one team per semester, they hold the record for welcoming the most LiveDifferent volunteers into their home. Their generosity extends beyond hospitality, as they continue to support program development and staff care in meaningful ways.
