Outside of school, he enjoys playing basketball and sports video games, as well as going out to dinner with his wife, who works as a recreational supervisor in Charlottesville. He also enjoys attending church and playing with his two children, a six-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter (Bralley says she has a “16-year-old attitude.”
