Brandy grew up on a dairy farm in Greenbrier County, W.Va., and growing up was active in the Future Farmers of America, through which she competed in a public speaking competition. Today, she continues to give back to her community: In memory of her uncle, who passed away unexpectedly in 2009, scholarships are awarded annually to seniors graduating from the same high school as her uncle with a demonstrated financial need. Often, the scholarship is awarded to a senior that is the first in his/her family to attend college. To fund the scholarship, she organizes an annual golf tournament.
