To make Brandon's baseball practice easier, his parents decided to construct a barn behind their home so that he would have more room to work out. His mom supported his American Legion Baseball years during his adolescence, even if he had to travel to different US states for many hours.

Ron taught his kids about bull riding from a young age; none loved it more than young Brandon. Even his favorite movie is a story revolving around rodeos, 8 seconds.

Brandon would accompany his father while he held a job at Frontier Days Rodeo. They spent their time riding and feeding the bulls. 

Ron has liberal thinking regarding his children's careers, i.e., he is happy with whatever his kids do if that is what really interests them. Brandon stated to the New York Post, that his father did not enjoy his accounting job and did it for the household's financial security.

At seven years old, the Mets outfielder rode his first calf at his grandfather's ranch in La Junta. It had become a tradition for men to ride a calf at the ages between six and eight.
