Brett Keller Duncan, a lifelong resident of Hammond, Louisiana, is an accomplished attorney and an elected member of the Tangipahoa Parish School Board. His journey began after graduating from Hammond High, when he joined the Louisiana Army National Guard, serving for ten years with the 205th Engineer Battalion and participating in "Operation Enduring Freedom" in Afghanistan. Brett's pride in his community was evident when he initiated a project for Hammond to "Adopt" three Afghan villages, reflecting his deep commitment to service. He has received several military accolades, including the Army Commendation Medal and the Louisiana War Cross. Brett graduated cum laude from Southeastern Louisiana University, where he was actively involved in student leadership and received the Lieu Award for academic excellence. He later earned his Juris Doctor from LSU's Paul M. Hebert Law Center and established a law practice dedicated to helping families navigate legal challenges. In addition to his private practice, Brett has represented over 1,000 abused and neglected children. He is an active community volunteer and is married to Regina M. Lamb, with whom he has two children, Kendall and Robert.
