My guest today is Brett Comegys. He is the Mayor of Collins & the reason Willie & I wound up in this little tiny town. You’ll hear how a friend of his convinced him to join the marines, how he wound up earning 3 different college degrees in a one year span, and why he decided to run for mayor over a decade ago. Brett is an idea-man by nature & has been a catalyst for lots of change and progress in this little town. I really enjoyed this conversation and I think you will too.
Brett Comegys is the Mayor of Collins and a big reason that Willie & I landed in this little tiny town (pop 498).
Brett is a veteran, serving several years in the Marine Corp. He is currently an 8th grade social studies teacher in the Marshalltown School district and a major history buff.
Brett's wife, Jenny, is a lifelong Collins resident. Over a decade ago Brett decided to run for mayor after he felt a negative trajectory had overtaken the town. He wanted a positive place for his kids to grow up, so he decided to do something about it.
Brett is proof that one person can be the catalyst for major change. I really enjoyed this conversation and I think you will too.
