Brandon started training Jiu-Jitsu shortly after graduating from high school in 2007. He is an active competitor in the local Jiu-Jitsu scene, and earned his black belt in November 2021 at K-Team Martial arts under professor Kimo Kreis and the lineage of Relson Gracie.

A graduate of Castle High school in Kaneohe, Brandon earned a degree in business administration from Hawaii Pacific University in 2011.

“I am so blessed to have had so many great coaches and mentors over the years. From music, to baseball, church, and Jiu-Jitsu I want to make a positive impact on others by giving back. I realize how important it is to have good role models in life.”

Brandon is happily married to his beautiful wife Michelle and the proud father of his precious daughter Eliana and son Tobias. Brandon spends much of his time hanging out with friends and family, training/teaching Jiu Jitsu, and serving the Lord through ministry. His parents Rob & Barb Gross have been in ministry for over 30 years and are the Senior Pastors of Mountain View Community Church.

Brandon has also served as a drummer on Mountain View's worship team, small group leader, youth ministry leader, and Pastor Intern.
