Brandon grew up in the small town of McKinnon, about 45 minutes south of Green River. He attended his first three years of high school in Green River and finished in Manila, Utah. Growing up on his father’s ranch, he always imagined that his fascination with medicine would drive him to become a vet. However, after working in a vet clinic for a year he learned that he truly loved working with and teaching pet owners about illnesses and treatments. He then shadowed a few physicians and quickly fell in love with the work that they do and the impacts they had on people's lives. He recently graduated from BYU with a bachelor’s in biology. He has been married to his wonderful wife for 6 years now and they have recently welcomed their second child.
