He became Irish National Road Race Champion in June 2010 by beating breakaway partner and defending champion Nicholas Roche.

Brammeier is a sports fan, football in particular. His favorite team is Liverpool and he grew up catching every game he could. He prefers Italian cuisine, and has a cat named Gizmo who is "...off on his own wild and he looks after himself when I’m away."
