Brett's Story
My wife Zoe and I live in Brooklyn Park along the Mississippi River and absolutely love it. 8 minutes convenience to downtown Minneapolis with bald eagles and wild turkey in our backyard, plus pretty good schools. We have two daughters, Briana, age 5 1/2 and Sarah, 10 months old. We spend a lot of time playing Uno, watching cartoons Saturday morning and rollerblading (Briana's been on blades since age two). Oh, and I still play hockey, once a week with the Minneapolis police for the past 7 years.
As for work, hey, why not be in real estate during the great depression of the industry. Note: I did not say great recession. Remember, real estate is largely what caused the mess and has taken huge hits. Anyway, you name it, and I probably do or have done it. Property management, residential and commercial development, realtor (if anyone needs to buy or sell, I am happy to help out).

e needs. My career to date has been about 1/2 and 1/2. 1/2 in corporate with companies like Accenture and U.S. Bank and 1/2 in real estate. Both halves had much in the way of development and growth stage activities - maybe someday when I grow up I'll be in venture capital.
My wife and I love to travel although that has pretty much stopped with the advent of kids. Been to some fun and interesting places like the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya and Serengeti in Tanzania, Taiwan, Tahiti, Fiji, New Zealand, China, East block Europe, Mont Tremblant (site of picture above), Dubai, and more. Since kids, well, that has all changed - so this year our big trip will be a few days to some small cabin area near Detroit Lakes, probably with another couple or two from church with kids or my folks.
One of my favorite quotes: "Most people miss opportunity because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work" - Thomas Edison.
Looking forward to the reuniion.
