He teed up his artistic career with the creation of a 5-ft.-tall, papier mâché giraffe in the third grade and has used his creativity for impact ever since. He graduated with a B.S. in Studio Art from Florida State University (FSU) and earned a graduate degree in Design and Art Direction from Atlanta’s Portfolio Center. He continues to rack up Master’s Certifications, more recently in User Experience Design and Advanced Mobile Marketing.

An avid outdoorsman who once worked at Yellowstone, Brett enjoys RV'ing and sports ranging from golf to fly-fishing to sporting clays. He’s an Atlanta native, where he resides with his wife, Caroline, and their furry hiking companion, Muddy.
