More than just a reality TV star, Passante is also an entrepreneur and businessmen. She and Schulz have for over two decades successfully ran a California-based retail outfit called Now & Then stores. With the fame she has attracted to herself and all the glitz and glamour that comes with it, it is quite amazing to know that her journey all but began with her working as a carpet cleaner in the 90s.
Who is Brandi Passante?
Passante was born Brandi Leigh Passante in Harris County, Texas, USA, on May 16, 1980. Details about her early life are few and far between as all we know is that she was raised in the lone star state and is of part Sicilian descent.
Growing up, it is said that the young girl aspired to be a chef and harbored no thoughts of ever becoming a television personality. But before life would end up sending her down the part of appearing in front of the camera, Brandi Passante’s life was characterized by her wearing a jumpsuit that allowed her clean carpets, rugs, and other tapestries. She later moved on to operate a thrift store in Orange County, California.
How She Managed to Appear on Television
Brandi Passante’s big opportunity came when she learned about the upcoming TV show, Storage Wars and decided to participate in it. She joined the first season of the show in 2010 with her partner Jarrod Schulz and the two stood out for their ability to think through the bidding process and acquire storage units at pretty economical rates. Viewers soon grew fond of them and began rooting for them as they proved to be a pair to look out for.
Passante and her partner’s time on television proved to be an excellent move for their store as it almost immediately began to swarm with patronage. The pair took advantage of this and were able to scale things up a bit. They did so by opening shops in other locations.
Further owing to their newfound popularity, the couple was offered their own reality TV show titled Brandi & Jarrod: Married to the Job where they would be the sole stars. The series premiered on August 12, 2014, and only lasted for eight episodes before it was canceled over poor ratings.

Moore threatened to release them as the Storage Wars star released a message saying that the woman in the pictures and videos were not her.
Passante ended up having to sue Moore for violation of the Lanham Act, Privacy and Publicity statues, as well as the defamation and consumer fraud laws. She demanded $2.5 million in damages. The court went on to rule in her favor but the judge found the amount unjustifiable and only granted the reality TV show actress $750,000 in damages.
