Some context:

Braun was born in Jasper, Indiana, on March 24, 1954.

He graduated from Jasper High School. Braun was a three-sport star athlete; he married his high school sweetheart, Maureen, who was a cheerleader.

He attended the all-male Wabash College, where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity and graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in economics, and Harvard Business School, where he earned a master's degree.

After graduating from Harvard, Braun moved back to Indiana and joined his father’s business manufacturing truck bodies for farmers.

When the economy of the mid-1980s hit farmers hard and his father's business nearly went under, Braun steered the business in the more lucrative direction of selling truck accessories. The business subsequently grew from 15 employees to more than 300.

In 1986 Braun and Daryl Rauscher acquired Meyer Body Inc., a manufacturer of truck bodies and distributor of truck parts and equipment.

In 1995 Braun fully acquired the company. Meyer Body was renamed Meyer Distributing in 1999. Braun is its president and CEO.

In 2018 Braun's personal finance disclosure listed assets worth between $35 million and $96 million.

The only guy smarter than me in my free-ride-scholarship program was an economist.

They just think differently. I'm OK at economics - but I can't make the worm turn like them.

Braun is objectively very smart.
