MEET THE JUSTCAUSE TEAM
Bryan Royle
Founder
Bryan is the fearless leader who is as natural an engineer as he is an artist. He has the innate ability to see something in his imagination then build it (i.e.The OASIS). Most of the time you will find Bryan cracking a joke, giving a hug, singing a song, or conversing in the voice of one of the many accents he can impersonate. This joyous spirit of his is impossible to not gravitate towards, making him a great leader with a serving heart. Outside of JustCause, he is an Engineering Consultant dreaming up and crafting the innovations of tomorrow.
Kevin Gabriel
Co-Founder
Taking care of the business side with JustCause, Kevin has a knack for numbers. When Bryan approached him with the idea of the OASIS, Kevin was all in and wanted to form the non-profit in order to help raise the much-needed donations. Because of Kevin’s driven personality, JustCause went from just an idea to an active non-profit in no time. Outside of JustCause he is married to his wonderful wife Payton, and enjoys all things outdoors with their pup Noki.
Brandon Jackson

​
​Brandon supports JustCause by helping with communication, planning, and overall strategy. He cares deeply about people and wants to see practical, sustainable solutions make a real difference.​ Outside of JustCause, Brandon is usually chasing big ideas, meaningful conversations, or a perfectly cooked steak. He’s a fan of good coffee, deep questions, and doing work that actually matters.

Joey and his wife Gracia had their first child in May 2020!
