He is an associate member of the Stage Directors & Choreographers Society (SDC) and holds an undergraduate degree in Theatre Performance. In his freelance, Braylon has directed numerous productions at all levels. He holds a professional teaching license in Theatre Arts, and taught full-time before beginning a full freelance workload.

​

In 2024, Braylon directed Hairspray at BCS Summer Theatre, which was nominated for 23 BroadwayWorld Regional Awards, and won 7, including Best Musical of 2024. Braylon has also been instrumental in the educational theatre scene in the Twin Cities, serving as the Director Of Theatre Arts in White Bear Lake, teaching and coaching young actors. In these roles, he has sent several of his students off various BA or BFA programs across the country, such as NYU Tisch, the University Of Minnesota-Duluth, Normandale, and UW Eau Claire.

White Bear Lake participates in the MSHSL (UIL comparison) One Act Play competition, which is statewide, and divided into 16 sections, with 10-25 schools in each. After multiple rounds, the 1st place play after adjudication from theatre industry professionals will win the section and represent all those schools at the State Tournament Festival. This is an incredibly high honor. In 2025, Braylon directed an adaptation of 'She Kills Monsters' for the competition one-act. WBLAHS represented section 4AA as the champions at the state conference, winning out of 11 plays in the respective section. 

Braylon's next project will be directing 'Miss Nelson Is Missing' at the Phipps Center For The Arts (Hudson, Wisconsin) which will be the first show in their 2025-2026 season.
