Personally

Brandi lives in Branson, Missouri, with her husband, Andy, and their two boys.  She is a mom who knows the challenges of divorce and custody issues personally, but also knows that there is life, love, and hope both during and after the pain that it can bring.  Having experienced these tribulations personally and moving on to find an even greater joy in the aftermath, Brandi is able to relate to those going through similar situations and fighting for their children's safety, security, and stability on a deeper level than those who have never experienced that torment.

Brandi is a woman of deep faith and attends Woodland Hills Family Church in Branson on Sundays as well as New Beginnings Fellowship in Hollister during the week.  While she has a passion for her work, her true love is to be outdoors with her family.  She is an avid deer hunter, but loves all types of hunting as well as anything else that gets her family outdoors from deep sea fishing, boating, and scuba diving, to hiking, shooting guns, shooting bows, and just exploring the wild.  She spends most of her free time outside with Andy and their two boys shooting a bow, throwing out a line, hunting whatever creature is in season, or otherwise teaching their boys how to love and appreciate God's creations and raising them to become strong, Godly men.  For those things, she is dedicated to working tirelessly both personally and professionally.
