Hey, I’m brandon.

After years of building a career in finance and product management, an unexpected layoff gave me the chance to step back and reflect on what truly mattered. I had a choice: return to the familiar path or take a leap into something new and deeply fulfilling. I chose to leap - and it changed everything.

Like many people, I knew what it felt like to appear confident in my career but feel completely stuck in my love life. I used to hesitate before asking for a number, overthink making the first move or talk myself out of approaching someone I was genuinely interested in. I’d tell myself “I don’t wanna be creepy”, but in reality I was afraid of rejection. And tbh, I just didn’t have experience and the guidance I was finding online felt gamey. Does that stuff work? Sure. But did it feel like who I wanted to be? Not really.

So I went on my own journey, faced a lot of rejection, had some awkward dates and ultimately pushed through years of growing/learning to build confidence in my dating life. What I found is the skills I worked on to become a better dater bled into other aspects of my life as well. The real kicker was, I saw countless men and women around me struggling with the same challenges I had faced. Smart, driven, successful people who just didn't have a trusted place to work on this stuff. That gap felt like an opportunity.

That’s why I created Modern Dating Project.

It’s more than just dating advice - it’s a community and coaching practice built around one idea: become the best version of yourself and the right partner follows. And we make the journey real, practical and fun.

Today I'm a certified dating coach working with men and women across NYC and beyond. If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
