Brandon Magana

Brandon Magana is a Computer Science senior at California Baptist University, an AI/ML researcher, NREIP intern, and SMART Scholar — and somehow still finds time to build. He is a follower of Christ, and the author of Magana Casa, a real-world hub for people who are tired of surface-level content and want the honest truth about life, faith, finances, and everything in between. Magana Casa is not a slop blog. It is a collection of personal case studies — real anecdotal evidence on how to build passive income streams, grow stronger in your faith, let your creative outlet shine, and most importantly, how to love your family well and become the best version of yourself for them. At his core, Brandon builds for one reason — legacy. He wants his future children to tell stories about him. To remember a father who was kind, compassionate, hard working, and worth looking up to. His closest friends will tell you he works harder than anybody they know, and that drive shows up in everything he touches. When he is not in the lab, coding, or building something new, you will find him with Nicole — his partner in everything and the reason he works as hard as he does — and their two dogs. Oreo, a 15 year old black cocker spaniel with a funny personality who hates dogs but loves every human he meets, and Nymeria, Nicole's husky who is equal parts sassy and dramatic, best found sleeping on her back with her legs in the air. Based in Riverside, California. Next chapter: senior year, NREIP, YouTube, affiliate marketing, and a cross country move to Virginia. A lot on the plate — all of it intentional.
