Unofficial Job Title: Mastermind of Mischief
What you should contact me for:
- Print Marketing
- How To Train For A Marathon
Brett has been with Carolina Senior Marketing since 2020 and studied graphic design at UNC-Chapel Hill. Go Heels! He and his wife, Grace, live in Cary, North Carolina, where they spend their time running, biking, climbing, and being a part of their church. Though he’s been a life-long distance runner, Brett finished his first marathon without training for several months beforehand. It was gruesome. Don’t ask him what his finishing time was. One other fun fact: He would get a small tattoo of the CSM icon if Dustin would pay for it. Please email Dustin to convince him to fund this endeavor.
Which unconventional animal do you wish you could have as a pet?
One of them flying squirrels, trained like a golden retriever to fetch anything.
In another life, I’m pretty sure I was…
A tree, but the kind that Baby Groot is from Guardians of the Galaxy. Dancin’ in the midst of chaos.
Are you a cat person or a dog person?
I’m a dog person, but we have the best senior cat because we support adoption and we’re all about Medicare…
If you started a business, what would it be?
It’s been a dream of mine to be a published author, to write fiction novels that aren’t necessarily a series but an anthology (in a shared universes). Hopefully that would generate an income and please the shareholders!

What three items would you bring with you on a deserted island?
Definitely not a volleyball named Wilson. So how about three volleyballs?
If you could live in a different country for a year, which country would you choose?
Australia. I saw Kangaroo Jack once as a child. It has 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, but to be fair, it’s pretty incredible they got a real kangaroo to do all of that stuff… and they trusted him with $50,000 while filming, too! Amazing.
What is your go-to karaoke song?
I am not much for karaoke, but I do sing Tom’s Diner loudly in my car at least weekly.
If you were a genre of music, what would it be and why?
This isn’t a genre, but I’d be a cross between Jon Bellion and Sum 41 sprinkled with some Switchfoot. IYKYK.
If the company had a mascot, what would it be and why?
A bumblebee (because we’re busy bees helping our agents) that closely resembles Dustin, but like, not in a scary way.
If you could swap roles with anyone at the company for one day, who would it be?
I hear Emily has a nice Z4 that needs testing… 🚙 💨

Bow before the start of every new sentence when talking to anyone.

Bacon, turkey, avocado with greens and tomato on a tomato basil bread.

Dubai chocolate bars with pistachio and knafeh. Absolutely. SLAPS.
You are stranded on a remote desert island. Are you alone or with your worst enemy?
Both – I am my own worst enemy. God got me though. I gotta die to myself, ya hear?
What is the best piece of advice you have ever gotten at work?
Live to the east of where you work, so you never have the sun in your eyes during your commute. ChatGPT told me this one. He doesn’t have eyes, so I have not taken his advice. I prefer to watch the sunrise to remember I am human and he is not. (My eyes hurt.)
