The noteworthiest quality about Brooke and Brice Gilliam is that they are entirely self-taught home renovators. The married couple who have been making waves with their new show ‘Making Modern with Brooke and Brice’ have different day jobs but never let it affect their true calling. Hard work, immense talent, and undying passion have led them towards glorious success. With Brooke and Brice’s breakthrough in television, interest in the couple’s life has grown tenfold. Let’s dig in and find out more about them, shall we?
Brooke and Brice Gilliam’s Profession
Interestingly, neither Brooke nor Brice’s career path initially included building or design as they never had any formal training. However, Brooke mentioned that the desire to take things apart and remake them in her own style came to her very young. It quickly died down once she went off to college since she did not find the time required to pursue her passion for building and had to let it go.
After studying Organizational Communication and Marketing for three years at Murray State University, Brooke wanted to take up a profession that would help her bring a decisive change to people’s lives and health. Thus, she took up a job as a pharmaceutical sales representative and began spreading the message about the importance of proper healthcare among people. After lending her talent in sales to various organizations, in 2017, Brooke earned the position of Senior Biopharmaceutical Sales Representative at Amgen, where she still works today.
On the other hand, Brice mentioned that he had always wanted to be the helping hand in society. He desired to be a person people look up to for a positive change. Thus, after earning a Bachelor’s degree in Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry Cellular and Molecular Biology, Brice chose to become an Orthodontist. He finished his residency at Howard University Hospital before starting his own practice. Ultimately, in October 2019, he established Elevation Orthodontics, which also happens to be the first adult-only orthodontic office in Nashville.
For Brooke and Brice, building, renovating, and designing were hidden passions that they never had the chance to explore. However, the show gives them an opportunity to venture into all that. According to the couple, their passion provides them with a creative outlet that every person requires. After spending years doing other things, the duo rediscovered their passion for building and design around 2015.
Brooke and Brice were compelled to work on their own house in Nashville, Tennessee, as the construction did not go as planned. Naturally, their passion, talent, and dedication did not go unnoticed, and their reputation as a designer-builder duo started growing. As more and more friends, neighbors, and acquaintances began approaching them with home renovation projects, there was no looking back.
Brooke and Brice Gilliam’s Marriage and Family
Brooke and Brice’s fantastic partnership in life and in work has worked wonders for them. The couple met in October 2010 and felt they connected quite deeply. With similar passion and a desire to be creative, it did not take long for the two to get closer, and they tied the knot in 2012. Although they don’t have any children to date, the couple has done an excellent job of building a loving home together.
The pair’s dedication and love shone brightly through the way they joined hands and constructed their dream house. The couple also put their minds together to design a beautiful office for Brice’s Elevation Orthodontics. Even in their roles as house-renovators, they smash pre-conceived notions about gender roles associated with building and designing. Brooke takes on the male-dominant role of a builder, whereas Brice is a designer. It is truly mesmerizing to witness how Brooke and Brice’s commitment keeps leading them towards greater success, and we wish them the very best for all their future endeavors.
