Brandrais was a proud graduate of Northgate High School, class of 2014. His professional journey began at Yamaha, where he dedicated ten years of his life to honing his skills and contributing to the company.

An exceptionally intelligent and ambitious individual, Brandrais was planning to further his education by returning to school to study Information Technology, a field he was deeply passionate about. His enthusiasm for technology was evident in his love for working on computers.
In addition to his professional interests, he found joy and relaxation in fishing, often spending time outdoors. The fresh air and the rhythmic sounds of nature provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation, allowing him to unwind and recharge amidst the beauty of the outdoors.
