As a child Brendan was drawn to martial arts and began training in TaeKwonDo in 1988 when he was just 5 years old, 3 years later he began wrestling too. Brendan competed in TaeKwonDo from 1988-1994 where he competed and placed multiple times on a national level and wrestled competitively from 1990-2002. In college Brendan discovered Kickboxing and began competing in local fights in Massachetts while he was in college. From 2005–2012, Brendan was a professional mixed martial artist (MMA) and Kickboxer competing on the world’s biggest stages. Fighting out of Jackson Wink in Albuquerque, NM, and Fighting Arts Academy in Springfield, MA, he amassed 16 professional fights (10 in MMA and 6 in Kickboxing).

Brendan also was a competitor on Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge (Season 3) in 2015.
A few years after retiring from his professional fight career competing on the world’s biggest stages, Brendan decided to leave consumer-facing gyms to found B-well consulting in order to expand the reach of his impact to a wider demographic providing services to corporations. Shortly after, Brendan began getting traction and consulting for a mid-size pharmaceutical company, providing a digital wellness curriculum. In early 2016, Brendan also accepted a more significant consulting position at a large hedge fund where he had been consulting for a few years. There he developed group classes, private programming for the partners of the firm, and performed an operational role managing the gym facility, while he was forming Workweek Wellness. In February 2017, Brendan launched Workweek Wellness, a fully scalable, white-labeled, content-driven platform designed to improve the lives of people in corporate environments. After spending a year in NYU’s EdTech program and finding traction with Workweek Wellness and finding inspiration from his mother, Brendan then decided to launch a wellness company geared towards active seniors called LyfeProof. The mission is to help retirees increase the quality of their life and prolong their longevity by improving their personal wellness effort by using computer vision. After completing the NYC Media Lab with LyfeProof Brendan wanted to find a way to help during the Covid-19 crisis so he teamed up with a friend who was also looking to make a difference during the pandemic and started Actively Young. He also joined the founding team of Passdoor, whose mission is to provide students with first hand experience of Broadway taught by the stars in the show. In the late fall of 2021 Brendan joined the Nobody team and works in a Business Lead Role for their health and wellness companies where he is brings companies from the idea stage into the market creating and testing M.V.P.s.
