Intriguing Life of Brandi Passante Before Storage Wars
Before becoming a reality TV star, Brandi Passante lived a life far from the spotlight. Raised in Texas, Brandi worked hard from a young age, eventually moving to California where she met Jarrod Schulz.
Together, they opened a thrift store called Now and Then in Orange, CA. Brandi handled much of the behind-the-scenes work—pricing, organizing, and managing the shop. Her natural eye for value and sharp instincts in resale made her a perfect fit for the storage auction world.
Interestingly, she never intended to be on TV. The producers of Storage Wars discovered the couple while scouting for interesting storage buyers—and Brandi’s bold personality quickly made her a fan favorite.
