After graduating from Colgate University with concentrations in Mathematics and Religion, Brett jumped right into his passion for teaching high school mathematics. After two years he took a year off to earn his Masters in Education at Boston College, and returned to the classroom at North Quincy High School. After a few years there, Brett took a break from teaching to pursue a career as a professional triathlete on the US national team. After four years of chasing his childhood dream and the birth of his son Grady, Brett retired from racing and returned to teaching here at KUA.

Brett joined the faculty at KUA in 2014, and currently serves as the Arthur Day Welch Chair of Mathematics, head coach of the cross country team, a dorm parent in Dexter Richards Hall, and faculty leader to the Hilltop Christian Fellowship. He lives in Chellis Hall with his wife (Emily) and two children (Grady and Pepper). In his free time he loves running and skiing on the local trails and riding his bike.
