Brendan got his start on the stage in 4th grade as one of the tailors in The Emperor's New Clothes and acted through the rest of school and college. With four children active in CYT, he is happy to have returned to the stage with CCT as the Bank Chairman in Mary Poppins, a member of the Congregation in Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Grandpa Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Favorite earlier roles include Tommy Djilas (The Music Man), Chaplain (Mother Courage and her Children), and Ed Carmichael (You Can't Take It With You). He sings Baritone in his church choir, helps with the church children's choir, is a Cub Scout Den Leader, and enjoys seeing his children grow in Christ and in confidence at CYT.
