After years of balancing work in all live events, Brett began to focus exclusively on the golf sector; managing all things golf to date with GoVision Golf. Today’s deployments certainly look a lot different than back in 2008, but the goal always remains the same, delivering world class service to our world class tournaments. Growing up in Western NY, Brett graduated college from SUNY Cortland. He got his taste for a career in golf while in college, interning with the PGA of America for (3) summers providing operational support for (6) Major Championships. Brett and his wife Rachel live in Saint Simons Island, GA, where they met while Brett was in town for a golf tournament many years ago. They are raising their daughter and her best friend, Lena (the family dog)! Whether it be in the mountains or on water, Brett and his family enjoy as much of the outdoors as they possibly can.
