Brandon is a spicy convert that comes from the Diocese of La Crosse and served as a DOS Totus Tuus missionary in 2019. He recently graduated with a degree in criminal justice from Chippewa Valley Technical College and will be transferring to Mid-State Tech to pursue a new degree in IT Network Security. Brandon can often be found wandering around outdoors and particularly enjoys hiking and kayaking. One of his favorite adventures was visiting the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina with friends. Not surprisingly, Brandon will often call upon St. Michael to help him in his daily activities. He’s hoping to bring joy to listeners by combining humor and a relaxed atmosphere with his friend and co-host, Jared! Jared is a whimsical fellow who grew up Rice Lake, Wisconsin. He currently attends the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, studying Human Performance. As far as the future goes, he has what feels like millions of options and has declared he will simply “go with the flow.” However, he most likely will be pursuing a personal training certification and a master’s degree in clinical exercise physiology. You may have guessed, but he loves everything sports/exercise and health related and hopes to do his part in promoting exercise in the world. He also feels as if sports are a very effective and fun way to engage people who share the interest, and infusing Christ into that is such a great way to spread the light and evangelize. That is why one of his favorite role models in the faith is Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati (what a man!). In addition, he has recently been very inspired by one of the newest saints to be canonized, St. Nunzio Sulprizio (look into his story; it’s simple yet inspiring). As a closing fun fact, Jared once completed the Blazin’ Wings Challenge at Buffalo Wild Wings, and he still hasn’t received his shirt… Get on that B-dubs!
