Brandon Michael Darby (born November 2, 1976 in Pasadena, Texas) an American conservative blogger and managing director of Breitbart Texas, a conservative news and opinion website.
Darby is a former informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Darby was born and raised in Pasadena, Texas, part of Greater Houston. His father was a refinery welder in Pasadena. As a teenager, Darby would run away from home. He lived in group homes in Houston, Texas and the surrounding areas.
He got a GED and took an emergency medical technician class.
He was a co-founder of Common Ground Relief, a non-profit relief organization that provided supplies and assistance to New Orleanians in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He was Director of Operations for the organization from January to April 2007. Darby's role as a community organizer and, at times, a humanitarian relief activist, has been the subject of numerous print, radio and television reports, as well as having been profiled in several documentary films, most which have been critical of his actions such as giving information of activists to the FBI.
In 2008, Darby infiltrated a small group of protestors at the 2008 Republican National Convention, while working as an FBI informant and subsequently took the stand against them in court. Two of the protestors, David McKay and Bradley Crowder, were serving jail sentences as of late 2011.
