Brett entered social media building on 18 years of experience in marketing, sales, intelligence, process management, finance, accounting & contracts.
He left the high rise corporate world and an office with a view of a man made pond in Buckhead, for a Cove on Lake Wylie across from Charlotte, NC where a WiFi connection and an international airport keep him connected to the world.
