Murrow award and RTDNA's international UNITY award for excellence in coverage of diversity issues. He was also lucky enough to spend several years recording commentaries from legendary storyteller Kathryn Tucker Windham, which stands as one of his all-time favorite things about working in broadcasting.

Brett is also a musician, an outdoors enthusiast, a certified landscaper and a father. He enjoys donuts, sitting on the porch and taking 'adventure drives' whenever possible. He co-produces the Sundial Writer's Corner, Valley Sounds and the award-winning Public Radio Hour. Brett also served as chairman of the inaugural Huntsville's Music Advisory Board, which works to improve the infrastructure and community awareness of the local performing arts scene.
