Brandon will be hoping to make a great impression on Michelle on Night 1 and maybe even snag the elementary school teacher's First Impression Rose.

"Brandon J. may be young, but he knows exactly what he wants in life and is very serious about finding the one with whom to settle down," ABC shared of the bachelor, adding that he is "kind and confident."

But will Brandon's heart shine through early in the competition, and will his confidence be attractive to Michelle, who is looking for The One after getting her heart broken by Matt James on The Bachelor?

Until viewers can watch Brandon and Michelle interact and get to know this bachelor a little better, let's learn some information about him right now.
