Brett Olbrys
Vice-Chairman
Brett grew up in Seymour, attended
Seymour High School, and then both Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the
University of Connecticut. At WPI, Brett majored in Aerospace Engineering
and was a member of the Army ROTC, as well as Pershing Rifles, a military
fraternity. At UConn, Brett majored in and graduated with a B.S. in
Business Management. He was also a member of UConn's Varsity Cheerleading
squads for both Football and Men's Basketball for three years. Brett is
continuing to pursue his MBA in e-Commerce through Loyola College and Fairfield
University.
Upon graduating from UConn, Brett went to work for General
Electric's (GE) Appliance division in Kentucky. After a few years, GE
relocated him to Maryland, where he spent the next two years of his GE career.
In 2001, Brett moved back to Oxford, CT with his wife and daughter, where her
family has lived for over 30 years. That same year, Brett and his wife had
their second daughter and for the next 6 years, Brett worked for the Lighting
division of GE. Brett is now the Director of Business Development for a
local Energy Services Company, helping them expand their operations from a
regional business into a national company.
From his earliest days at GE, to his work with his church and
its organizations, as well as his local community involvement, Brett has
invested a substantial amount of time trying to help those in need.
Brett volunteered for the Web Site Committee because he feels
that this committee, through the Web Site, has the ability to deliver important
town information to the residents of Oxford that they previously did not have
before. Instead of an environment where residents are searching for
information, the web site will now have the capability of delivering the
information to those who want it, but in a timely manner. The web site
will also be a place where the residents of Oxford will be able interact with
the local government and be a part of the solution. Brett's philosophy is
that the more residents are informed about local events and the more information
they have, the better their decisions will be for the future success of Oxford.
