Brett McBurnie comes to coaching from a diverse and unique background.  Born in Toronto in 1951, he attended school in East York and eventually went on to study Classical Studies (Greek and Latin); at the University of Toronto , with the purpose in mind of pursuing a general but well rounded education. He then began a career in sales which has spanned 36 years.  During that time, he improved his business education with marketing certificates from both York University and Ryerson Polytechnic Institute, and became a Sales Manager in several companies, including a newspaper, a multinational printing company and a multinational transportation company.  During this time, he trained salespeople, and this led him to pursue studies in Adult Education at Seneca College , from whom he holds a certificate.  Further studies led to coaching education with the Gestalt Institute of Toronto.
