About Brandon
I love being a dad. I especially love seeing Abi grow up and learn who she is. It’s a ton of fun teaching her things like how to dance, run, learn new words, and how to best tickle mommy. It’s the best part of the day when I get time with my girls. I love spending time and making new traditions and thinking about my child’s future. Being a dad teaches me to appreciate the important and simple things in life. Some of my favorite things to do are daddy/daughter dates, playtime, and bedtime stories.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology and a Ph.D. in Cell Biology. I work as a research scientist in a lab. I love going to Utah Jazz basketball games with my family, being outside, and learning new things.
