However, it was his desire to make a tangible difference in young lives that led him to transition into the field of education.

He earned his Associate’s degree from Durham Tech, graduating Magna Cum Laude, and further distinguished himself by achieving Summa Cum Laude honors upon completing his Bachelor’s degree at North Carolina State University. This exceptional academic performance reflects his commitment to excellence and his deep understanding of the subjects he teaches.

Outside of the classroom, Brennan shares a strong partnership with his wife, Dana, with whom he has celebrated 13 years of marriage.
