I post whatever’s on my mind, but most of it lands in one of these three. Keep scrolling to flip through them.

Hi, I’m Brett.
I’m a Deaf creator and comedian who turns everyday moments into videos and live shows that make people laugh, think, and share. Mostly laugh. Thinking is optional.
By day, I’m a software engineer, which means I fix bugs for a living and create them for fun. Hand me any gadget, app, or card game and I’ll test it and tell you the truth.
Then there’s Brent. I didn’t invite him. He shows up anyway.
Based near Rochester, New York. Available for creator collaborations, appearances, and events.
