About Brett
Biography
I am a transplant from the Midwest. I grew up in Bloomington, Illinois. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana where I played Division I baseball all four years. I attended and received my J.D. from Southern Illinois University School of Law in Carbondale, Illinois. I came to Washington, Pennsylvania in 2014 after practicing law in Chicago, Illinois for 10 years and in Evansville, Indian for 2 years before that. We currently reside in the house my wife grew up in with our 3 children. I pride myself in being an active member of my community. I currently serve as the President for Leadership Washington County () and the Mental Health Association of Washington County (). I am also an active board member for the Washington County Bar Association () and the Washington County Historical Society (). I also enjoy being active (both with and without the children although mostly with), running, golfing, coaching and reading.
