A little more about Brandon: 

Brandon joined the Richwoods team in January 2024 after spending the previous 18 months in Colorado and growing up in Southern California. Brandon sensed a called to ministry shortly after giving his life to Christ at 13. But after graduating with a Bachelor’s in Christian Ministries, God directed Brandon to several years of work at a small college athletic department where Brandon ran communications efforts, kept statistics, and delivered public addressing and play-by-play announcing for several sports. Brandon and his wife, Briana, refocused on their call to ministry in 2020 and he is ecstatic to champion Richwoods’ calling to the Journey of Discipleship. Brandon has studied discipleship and spiritual formation for nearly a decade and also has several years of experience as a certified spiritual director through the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology. 

Brandon met his wife Briana at Biola University and they have a son named Grayson. Brandon enjoys reading good books, watching sports, keeping an exercise routine, and extending hospitality to others. As a family, the Taylors love cooking, having extended conversations with friends and family, and doing fun family activities (like going to playgrounds and all things trucks, thanks to Grayson!).
