Terry Brenan
Terry Brenan is a proud dad in a household that consists of his wife, twin daughters and a fish so small he can only see it when he has his reading glasses on. Putting a 15-year corporate advertising and marketing career on hold, he became a Lead Dad and packed his MBA in dry ice when his twins were born. Terry’s career has run second to his wife’s for several years while he has focused mainly on bestowing his vast knowledge, wisdom and life skills upon his daughters, who will spend the rest of their lives recovering. He is now in the process of resuming his marketing career while exploring writing and other interests.
