Brandon Bell is the owner of Next Level Steel, a company specializing in the structural steel industry. With over 25 years of experience in the field, Brandon has honed his expertise and proven his dedication to the steel industry.

Prior to founding Next Level Steel, Brandon played a pivotal role in the growth of another steel company in Phoenix. Starting from humble beginnings, he helped transform the business from its origins in pool fences into one of the largest and most successful steel companies in the Phoenix area.

Driven by a passion for innovation and a desire to explore new opportunities, Brandon made the bold decision to leave his previous company five years ago. This decision ultimately led to the creation of Next Level Steel, which he established approximately three years ago, following the conclusion of a non-compete agreement.

Brandon's commitment to excellence and his vast industry knowledge make him a respected figure in the structural steel community. He continues to lead Next Level Steel in its pursuit of excellence and innovation in the steel industry.
