Brett grew up in Manderson, Wyoming, a small town in north central Wyoming. His typical activities as a kid revolved around the family farm, helping irrigate, harvest, repair machinery, and when not doing that, he would explore and just be a kid.

Brett attended college receiving a degree in Agricultural Business and later a degree in Accounting from the University of Wyoming. His favorite courses during school were, ironically enough, Intermediate Accounting 2, and his favorite agricultural business course was his capstone. Mainly because he won $100 in a competitive simulation.

He originally did not see himself as being an accountant, but during his time in agricultural business, he felt like he should take more accounting courses to expand his knowledge. Little did he realize that there are some really fun people in that field, Brett would argue some of the most fun. After graduating with his agricultural business degree, the friends he made suggested he get his accounting degree and now look at him. He found success in the coursework and got to see more about the ability to always learn.

While he likes to call himself domesticated (some of his friends call him a housewife) because he likes things to be clean and neat. While he is single and does not have children, he does have a pretty cool nephew that just picks on him to “find him an aunt”. He can thank his mom and sister-in-law for provoking that. Brett does not really have any hobbies that he could get into. Growing up on the farm, the play was your work. He enjoyed building/foxing machinery, but I would not quite call it a hobby. When Brett is not working, he typically likes to go out with friends for dinner or a drink and sometimes go swing dancing. Brett is also studying for the CPA exam as well.
