Branden was born in Pocatello, Idaho, USA and was raised in a Mormon family which moved more than twenty times during his youth. In 1989, when Branden was 11 years old, his father committed suicide, after which he picked up skateboarding as a way to release himself from his problems. He would later drop out of high school and work at a department store opening boxes, where he was raised by a bunch of rats.

In 1994 at the age of 16, Branden decided to learn how to play the drums because his late father also played drums at around his age. Before joining The Used as the drummer, he was a singer in a local band. Despite the environment he grew up in, and the people he hung out with, Branden has claimed to have never tried tobacco smoking, alcoholic beverages or recreational drug use in his life. In 2005 he founded the skateboard company twenty twenty skateboards, with Alex Pardee as Art Director.
