Born in Michigan, Brace played football and basketball in high school
and was recruited to play in college, but instead, decided to take a
high-paying job in the business sector. At age 18, Brace enrolled in a
local modeling/finishing school. Brace dabbled in modeling, but decided
he preferred the corporate world. After graduating from engineering
school and continuing his business career, he took an interest in
bodybuilding and began to compete. At that time, he also discovered
Yoshokia Aikido and spent the next seven years dedicating his life to
the study. Brace attended Kenshu, an advanced Aikido school and
completed his Aikido training. Brace's business interests are vast and
they include real estate, nutritional supplements, and he has even
developed a hair tool that was sold on QVC. Brace believes health and
fitness are extremely important and regularly uses fasting, nutritional
supplementation, weight training, yoga, meditation, organic skin care,
and organic foods to achieve ultimate health. He likes exotic cars,
modern home design, beautiful women, adventure, organic food, weight
training, stylish clothes, exotic locations, and being around good
quality people.
