Brandon spent most of his life in west Texas, but after a big move, the Midland native found himself in a quiet little town called Jourdanton - where he met Shelby during their senior year of high school. Their first time hanging out was their first date. It was spent painting at Brandon's family dining table. Over ice cream on that March 11, Brandon asked Shelby to be his girlfriend. Shelby said yes. Over the next decade, they enjoyed their time at Texas State University and roaming The Texas Hill Country where the deer and the bobcats play. On January 7, 2023, Brandon asked Shelby to marry him in Wimberley, Texas. Shelby said yes.
