Brandon Percoraro found renown playing guitar in Drive-Thru records band Madison, and thought he’d make a long career out of music. When the band broke up, however, he struggled to find a backup plan. Not sure he was cut out for college, he enrolled in a single course at a local school, which led him to a career as an economist working in Congress. We try to sound smart with questions about economic theory as Brandon successfully dodges hard ball questions about which member of Congress has the best record collection. Brandon is a great example of how punk rock can prepare you for the challenges of any career, even in government.
