Who Is Brandon Perce of Spearfish, South Dakota?

People Magazine got the exclusive look at the 22 most eligible bachelors in the country. Even though the new season doesn't air until March, some are saying Brandon is one of the frontrunners of the season. He's "confident, loyal, and a total catch." Here's what you should know about this South Dakota stud:

Family means everything to Brandon, and this self-described mama’s boy is looking for a wife to settle down with and build a life. He’s a hopeless romantic who fantasizes over the idea of true love. His idea of the perfect date? A sunset hike, followed by pizza and cuddles on the couch. When Brandon isn’t working or enjoying time with his kids, he loves watching “Peaky Blinders,” rock climbing, and cheering on the Chicago Bears.

Sounds like Brandon could be on The Bachelorette for the right reasons. Some other fun facts about Brandon:
