Brandon was born in Dallas, Texas in the first half of the seventies. And try as he might to escape, he's been confined to Texas ever since. He joined the Air Force and served four years working on B-1 bombers and C-130s for a while before changing career fields and going to work in the computer flight. And though he saw many places around the world, he never officially lived anywhere but Texas. After his discharge, he went to work in Internet Systems and spent the next twenty years in IT-related jobs. He is now retired from IT and works on pools. In his spare time, Brandon writes music, plays darts and listens to his extensive record collection. He lives in Richardson with his wife and children.
