Lisa Blackmonson
Brett has been an outstanding resource for our congregation in our building project planning. His knowledge and enthusiasm of feasibility and strategic planning have been immeasurable assets. Brett has a gift for translating finance and funding into terms that the average layperson can grasp and get excited about. Communication and Collaboration come naturally to Brett and I am pleased to endorse him.

I had the pleasure of working with Brett for several months and found him to be always very professional in his demeanor. The position he had was can only be described a very challenging and despite this he was always cheerful and considerate of the people he worked with. While the duties in the position were not the most natural fit for him, I found him to be a quick study and more than willing to accept suggestions. I would recommend him for any position that requires discernment, tact and organization, traits that he demonstrated daily.
