At 6'7", Brendan was the player opposing coaches built entire game plans around. He won MVP his freshman year at Archbishop Riordan High School and played a crucial part on the team that beat Bay Area rival Archbishop Mitty for the CCS Open Division Championship.

After retiring from competitive basketball, he still shows his passion for the game by breaking down film, training at a high level, and always trying to get better himself.
