Bio
Gary Daynes
Grattan is a wise, experienced, and excellent school leader and curriculum developer. I had the good fortune of working alongside of him in the development of Thales College. I saw him build the infrastructure for a new school from the ground up. He designed a curriculum that was focused, practical, and intellectually serious. And he solved problems of all sorts with speed and good will. During our two years working together, I never saw him shy away from a challenge, be it in the curriculum or the operations of the school. Nor did I see him respond to a challenge with anything but the highest integrity. In short, Grattan is exactly the sort of person I would want to work with on a regular basis--particularly if I was intent on building an education program or making one better.
James McDeavitt
I have had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Dr. Brown over the past several years. He has an impressive understanding of theology, and the magisterium of the Catholic Church. In addition, he has ample practical experience with applied ethics in the healthcare environment. His ability to thoughtfully bridge these worlds, particularly in the area medical futility and end of life decision-making, makes him an incredibly valued resource and colleague.
