BRANDON WORSHAM

Director - brandon@anyfocus.org | blog

Brandon went to UTD as a freshman in 1997 and never left. His dad became a Christian in college while studying chemistry, and then a campus minister, so campus ministry is in his blood. He has 2 degrees in business from UTD and a Masters of Arts in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. He also worked on the side in business consulting for much of his career. He enjoys reading, racquetball, and ultimate frisbee, but mostly just spending time with friends–especially college students! He has a booming laugh and sometimes gets texts while in the Student Union that say, “I know you’re here somewhere–I heard you laughing.” He’s married to Sarah, who leads FOCUS at UT Arlington. Fittingly, he proposed in front of over 600 students.

Lailah is a San Francisco native who graduated from Howard University with a BFA in Dance. Following graduation in 2015, she worked with Dallas Black Dance Theatre for 6 years as a dancer and dance teacher. In year 5 of her time at DBDT, a co-worker, friend, and FOCUS grad studied the Bible with her, and it was there that her desire to follow Christ emerged. As her new walk with Christ deepened, so did her hunger for being an effective disciple. With that goal in mind, she decided to transition from her dance career to the FOCUS apprenticeship, and expects to learn how to love people and be a trustworthy leader for Christ in the world.
