Headshot of Brandon

Meet Brandon Erkkila, a BS Community Health Education alumnus from Kingsford, MI. Brandon currently resides in Appleton, WI where he is employed as a Field Sales Trainer in Womens Health for Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals.
 

Currently a Field Sales Trainer in women's Health for Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals.

Former, I’ve sold pharmaceuticals for Aztra Zeneca, Eisai, Takeda and Biogen.

I am also an assistant women's hockey coach for the NCAA D3 St.Norbert Green Knights.

I teach new hires and current pharmaceutical representatives how to sell and engage customers.

I had learning disabilities, I didn’t think I could get a college degree. While at NMU I was also diagnosed with cancer and my professors wouldn’t let me leave. They knew it would be better for me to stay and focus on school while fighting cancer.
I am forever grateful for the faculty for everything they did for me.

Enjoy it, it goes fast. Spend time with your friends and enjoy the nature around you.

I didn’t study sales at NMU but the coaching education I received has led to my success as a NCAA hockey coach
