Brett Selinger
Chief Financial & Operational Officer
Brett is the backbone of the studio, keeps the lights on (literally!) and does all the jobs that no one else wants to do at the studio. His primary responsibilities are the logistical operations of the company and overseeing its financials. He has been technically trained to be an electrician and has extensive experience working in network operations for the provincial telephone and data carrier. Ultimately, Brett stepped away from those endeavours in order to focus on raising his and Nadine’s two sons and running the family business.
