Toolbox Downtown September lunch with Brandon Puffer

September 12, 2023 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

Free

Brandon Puffer, Former MLB player, Co-Founder, Texas GPS Baseball, Author
Brandon Puffer played 15 seasons of professional baseball including starting his major league career with the Houston Astros. One of the highlights of his career was being a part of the Boston Red Sox when they won the 2004 World Series. Unfortunately, one bad decision led to being a prison sentence for 5 years…ultimately ending his professional baseball career. According to Brandon, “my story isn’t about a stat-sheet or rise to baseball fame. But rather a completely different rise that only occurs after an ultimate crash.” After working through pain, embarrassment and complete failure, his new hope is to spread a message of restoration and encouragement so others might keep moving forward.

Brandon is currently a select baseball coach with Texas GPS Baseball in Georgetown, Texas, and is the author of From the Bullpen to the State Pen.
