Zion First Baptist Church in Baton Rouge, LA, and was baptized by Rev. Theodore J. Jemison. Brandon received his formal education in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System. He earned his high school diploma at Baton Rouge Magnet High School in 1982. After high school, Brandon matriculated at Southern University, where he majored in Computer Science.
