Harrison Butker is the Co-founder, President and COO of MDKeller, an American holding company based in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Kansas City, Missouri. The company's holdings include Shepherd’s, Clear Cut Brands, MDK|MGMT, Madison Manufacturing, and Regius. Each company operates independently, but shares in the core mission of "shared values, shared success.” Aside from his entrepreneurial work, Mr. Butker is also the three-time Super Bowl Champion placekicker for the Kansas City Chiefs and is one of the top kickers in the National Football League. A devout Catholic, he is married to his high school sweetheart and together they have three children. He and his family founded the Butker Family Foundation to support causes important to them. Having just finished his sixth season with the Chiefs, Butker was blessed to kick the game-winning field goal in the AFC Championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals and the game-winning field goal in Super Bowl LVII against the Philadelphia Eagles. Butker is known for his God-given skills on the football field, but it is his Catholic Faith that brings him the most joy. He is an outspoken advocate for the Traditional Latin Mass, Pro-life causes, and being a man of virtue, to name a few. He has appeared on countless shows, podcasts, and articles speaking to being a man in a world that is becoming increasingly secular and absent of God. By grounding himself in his vocation as a husband and father, Mr. Butker has been able to use his platform to push others To The Heights.

Brandon is currently the COO of Business Alliance Inc., a franchise consulting network that consists of over 175 affiliate brokers representing more than 370 franchise brands domestically and internationally. Brandon is a nature enthusiast, and enjoys being in the outdoors, especially in the White Mountains, all four seasons of the year.
