About Braden Griffiths

I was born in Provo, Utah on December 11th, 1996, which is also my grandpa’s birthday. Because of this, I am named after my grandpa, Spike Kinghorn. So my name is Braden Spike Griffiths. I lived in Orem until I was 5 years old, then moved to American Fork where I have lived ever since.

I have the greatest family in the world.  They have always been supportive of anything I have wanted to do, from baseball to my interest in video production and my Church assignments. Check out their bios.

I went to Shelly Elementary, American Fork Junior High, and American Fork High School. In High School, my favorite class was Kave Tv. I took it my junior year because I didn’t really know what it was. The teacher was new, it was his first year teaching, his name is Zac Durrant. He was pretty much the only reason I stayed in the class, and I’m so glad that I did. I now love filming and I owe it all to him, and my first year in Kave Tv.

Good Friends

I have been lucky to have many great friends in my life. My closest group of friends started in Junior High and High School I had 4 best friends, Tyler McBride, Stevie Harrison, Hunter Clark, and Rooney Rich. Everyone knew us as, “The Chums”. Our senior year we had a friend Andrew Maxwell who joined the crew. We did everything together. They are all serving missions right now.

• Stevie: Japan, Tokyo South Mission
• Hunt: Japan, Tokyo South Mission as well
• McBride: Omaha, Nebraska Mission
• Roon: Portugal, Lisbon Mission
• Amax: Brazil, Piracicaba Mission

I am so grateful for them they have been a great example to me and been a huge influence on me and my choice to serve a mission.

I have been blessed with many other friends who have also chosen to serve.

• JJ Litster: Australia, Sydney Mission, Korean Speaking
• Buzz Beeson: Australia, Perth Mission
• Davis Allen: Maryland, Baltimore Mission
• Ryan Brown: Singapore, Mission
• Cole Farnsworth: Uganda, Kampala Mission
• Matt Gardner: Mexico, Chihuahua
• Nate Jones: Spain, Barcelona
• Mathew Brown: Argentina, Santa Fe

They have also had a huge impact on my life and influenced my decision to serve a mission.

I have also had a great friend Miranda, we have known each other since Jr. High School and even realized that we sat at the same table in Film Study in 7^th grade. In our Junior year of High School Mir slid into my DM’s on Twitter and asked if I wanted to go to a movie. Of course, I said, “Yes,” because she’s gorgeous, and who doesn’t want a movie with a gorgeous girl like her?

We went and we had a great time, but we kinda stopped talking after…until one day a week or two later she told me how “ugly” my Yankees hat was. We started talking again and that night I asked her on a date to Temple Square. The date was fun and we had a great night after that date we continued to talk, and from then on we’ve been best friends.

She’s been an amazing example and an amazing friend. She has also been a great support in my going on a mission. I am so thankful for her and all that she’s done for me. Oh, and she is currently going to BYU.
