Receive Text UpdatesBrandon loves to explore, get a little dirty, and discover something new every time—whether it’s spotting animals, hiking a new trail, or just being surrounded by nature. He loves the freedom, the adventure, and the chance to unplug and just be a kid. The outdoors isn’t just where he plays—it’s where he feels curious, confident, and completely himself.
His favorite animal is a chicken because they’re full of personality—curious, funny, and surprisingly smart. He loves how they each have their own quirks, how they follow him around, and how something so simple can bring so much joy. Chickens make him laugh, teach him responsibility, and show him that even the most overlooked animals can be the most interesting. To him, they’re not just farm animals—they’re companions with character.
He loves spending time outdoors biking, hiking, and swimming because it gives him a sense of freedom and adventure. Whether he’s racing down a trail on his bike, exploring new paths on a hike, or jumping into the water, he’s always moving, discovering, and having fun. These activities let him challenge himself, enjoy nature, and make the kind of memories that only happen outside.
