Reverend Brantley is a long time reenactor, having come into the hobby at age 9. He has dedicated a great deal of time studying and researching the role of religion in the 18th and 19th centuries. He completed his studies for ministry in 2013 and was ordained an Anglican Priest in June of that year. Reverend Brantley strives to create not only a spiritually authentic worship opportunity but rather to combine worship and history in a way that engage a congregation in a historic worship experience, replicating the words and actions but also the emotions and thoughts of our predecessors.
 Reverend Brantley is married to Mrs. Amanda Brantley.
