Raised in Westside, Iowa and Warrensburg Missouri, Branden is accustomed to Midwestern small towns. At 18 he enlisted into the Army under Active Duty and was sent to Fort Benning, Georgia to complete OSUT (One Station Unit Training) as an Infantryman. Upon completion, he was stationed in Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall as a part of the 3rd Infantry Regiment where he served for 8 years from Private to Staff Sergeant.
For the 3 years following, he was an Army Recruiter in Rainbow City, Alabama for Cherokee County where he once again embraced his small town roots. After 11 years of active duty service, he ended his time with the military to become a stay at home father and focus on starting a Podcast with his lifetime best friend, Kenny Gomez.
With a passion for nerdy outlets, such as video games and fantasy novels, to Dungeons and Dragons, Branden loves all things lore.
