He was born September 6, 1983, in the small town of Sherrills Ford, North Carolina. As he grew older he also spent time in Arkansas and in Tennessee. As a teen he attended Bandys High School, where he was on the football, track and field and wrestling teams. After graduating in 2001, Scherr "goofed off" until 2003, when he enrolled in a community college. He spent the next four years playing football semi-professionally for the Hickory Hornets, supplementing his income by working as a doorman and mechanic. Scherr attended the NFL Scouting Combine in 2007, but he ultimately did not turn professional. In the late 2000s, he began competing in amateur strongman competitions which led to his career in WWE wrestling

Braun Strowman’s catchphrase is ‘Get These Hands’. He explains the reasoning behind it

“Everyone in some point in time has been angry about something where you think something along the lines of, 'You motherf—r. One more time and you are going to get these hands.' It's the whole motto behind that and that is why I believe people have attached themselves to it because everyone has thought that way,” added Strowman
