About the Founder

Brandon McCall is the founder of Cavalry Clean Up, a U.S. Army combat veteran, and a restoration professional with fourteen years of hands-on industry experience. He built the company around a personal commitment: listen carefully, stay involved, pay attention to the details, and follow through with the people depending on him.

Brandon began working in cleanup and restoration at seventeen, before joining the Army at twenty-three. During his fourteen years of military service, including three deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, he developed experience leading people, organizing complex work, and taking responsibility for both the mission and the team carrying it out.

His Army assignments included cavalry scout, squad leader, section and platoon sergeant, instructor, and manager of leadership-development courses. Those responsibilities extended beyond completing assigned tasks. They included the training, welfare, professional development, and readiness of the soldiers under his supervision.

While serving as a staff sergeant in Afghanistan, Brandon took on the role of platoon sergeant, leading eighteen soldiers. He led key leader engagements and more than forty-five missions in Kandahar Province, completing those operations successfully with no injuries or loss of personnel or equipment.

At the Army’s Combined Arms Training Center in Germany, Brandon managed pre-command courses for commanders and senior noncommissioned officers. He coordinated instruction, course planning, logistics, and administrative support. His evaluations credit him with helping develop more than 150 company-level leaders and mentoring the course managers who supported that work.

Across his evaluations and award recommendations, recurring strengths include sound judgment, detailed planning, initiative, integrity, and accountability. He was recognized for leading by example, motivating others, maintaining high standards, and preparing his teams for changing demands. His responsibilities also included safeguarding equipment worth millions of dollars and developing systems to keep people and resources organized.
