I was Brett’s English teacher and track coach his 9th and 10th grade years at Sehome High School. Brett was a wonderful student-athlete with incredible energy and curiosity. I will miss him. His parents were incredibly supporive people and my heart aches for their loss. Many in the business world may not know what a talented athlete Brett was — he had one of the most outstanding sophomore years any runner has had in Washington State Track history.
