A Little More About Our Guest

Brant grew up in Canyon City, Colorado with his younger sister. The most inspiring person in his life was his mother, she worked hard waiting tables and going to college as she raised two kids. As a child, he wanted to be a search and rescue for the Coast Guard but years later would discover he had a hidden talent for acting and singing. With new aspirations of pursuing musical theatre, he went to the University of Northern Colorado to become a singer and actor. After graduating from UNC, Brant moved to New York City for a few years before packing up the U-Haul to make the big move to Los Angeles. An avid yoga practitioner through his college years, Brant wanted to dive deeper into his practice amid the transition to the West Coast. He completed his first Yoga Teacher Training with CorePower in Los Angeles and began teaching soon after. Connect with Brant on Instagram and www.orderfirepickup.com.
