Brandon Pope
Brandon and Taurean met in 2011, when the two connected through an intercollegiate journalism summit. Though Taurean cared very little about college football, the many times their respective schools crossed paths gave him a reason to reconnect with Brandon.
Brandon is also the reason why Taurean got his first break in TV news. He connected him with his assistant news director and the rest is history.
Almost 15 years later, the two have grown up together, mentored each other as colleagues and traveled the world.
Brandon has been a constant in Taurean’s adult life — the first person to celebrate his accomplishments and a reliable counselor when he experiences setbacks.
He’s grateful to have Brandon there for him when he marries the love of his life.
