He is from Swampscott, Massachusetts, a suburb situated north of Boston. The oldest of three, Brett refers to himself as “the experiment.” He has alternated between accumulating debt, having earned degrees from Boston University, the Fletcher School at Tufts, and Suffolk University Law School, with work in the public sector thus ensuring an inability to pay it off anytime soon. His work experience is varied from stints in both Houses of Congress, the Department of Homeland Security, and in the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts. Brett is married to Aviva, a speech pathologist and aspiring photographer.
