Hometown hero.

Born, raised and educated in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio, Bret understands the value in roots that run deep. With friendships that trace back to his earliest elementary days, he's carried one driving principle forward into his long career: relationships matter.

Since the beginning of his professional career as an intern to now, Bret has become an invaluable member of the GBQ family. And while what matters most will always stay the same, one of his favorite parts of the job is the variety: every day — and every entrepreneur — is different.
