My name is Brandon Harris, and my roots are firmly planted just north of Houston, Texas, where I grew up in a close-knit family with one younger brother. Our family ethos was deeply entangled with the world of sports, which I suppose, primed me for the rigorous discipline and teamwork of my ensuing military career. I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2009, dedicating nine years to active duty and another year to the reserves, ascending to the rank of E-6.
