“With his strong legal background, experience in the gaming industry spanning fourteen years, his involvement in the tax-free spin that created GLPI, and over 10 years of success as a leader in the REIT industry, I am delighted to have Brandon take on the role of President at GLPI.
“I am confident that Brandon’s background, expertise and knowledge will remain highly valuable to GLPI as we continue to build the Company through new real estate and financing transactions, project development, and innovative structures with existing and prospective tenants.”
