Brando started his rugby career in Fall of 1995 under the tuteledge of Bill Sexton at Truman State University as a lock due to his height and jumping abilities.  But his tenacious work ethic and his desire to tackle as many opposing attackers as possible earned him a spot among the loose forwards.  He is a tic older, and has surrendered the free flying flanker spot to younger, quicker, more tenacious players, and he is happy to be back in the scrums helping to drive opposing packs back towards their try lines and he particluarly enjoys hearing hookers squeal whilst nestled in that cozy nook created by two front row’s asses.  Still a flanker at heart, you will find Brando flying around the pitch getting some hits in, and disrupting plays.  Favorite kind of beer: cold….   Motto: Hard work pays off
