Brandon Cosinteno
Co-Founder + COO
Indianapolis, Indiana
As a former on-air meteorologist and TV personality, Brandon turned his personal passion for travel into a career. His love for news lives on, just now in the format of travel and hotel news.
Brandon is a co-founder of Live Luxe Travel Co. and now serves as the company’s Chief Operating Officer. Brandon is an avid traveler and he and Nick spend about 180 nights a year traveling. When Brandon’s not booking travel for clients, he is a self proclaimed hotel news junkie and is always scouring the internet for the latest and greatest hotel news. So Brandon is our go to for the hottest new hotel openings!
Prior to co-founding Live Luxe Travel Co., Brandon was a meteorologist and worked on television and in aviation. That comes in handy for our clients during hurricane season and with winter storms as Brandon is always watching the latest weather trends.In his spare time and when Brandon is not traveling or watching the weather, he enjoys having a low key day on the couch watching reruns of 1990’s sitcoms like Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens and Frazier. And he enjoys finding 30 minutes every day to disconnect from work while getting a session in on the Peloton.
