Sean Brennan
LOAN OFFICER | SUMMIT FUNDING
I'm Sean, and I’m a 2025 Kendall Catwalk Model! Help me meet my $2,500 pledge amount in support of Furnish Hope by purchasing an event ticket to see me on the runway OR by donating below.
My first thought about joining Catwalk for a Cause was that it sounded like fun! I went to the event a couple of years ago and had a great time. I was genuinely flattered to be asked to participate, and I’m proud to support Furnish Hope. It was an easy yes for me.
In my work with Summit Funding, I help people buy homes. Most people need financing to make that happen, and I really enjoy building relationships and guiding them through the process, whether it takes a few months or a few years.
Outside of work, I’m all about getting outdoors. I love to golf, hike, ski, and get out on the water whenever I can. Being active in nature is how I recharge. As for living in Bend, what’s not to love? It’s big enough to offer great events, restaurants, and activities, but small enough that I’m always running into people I know.
Growing up, my biggest inspiration was my uncle Tom. He went to the same college I went to, built a successful career, and really made an impact in the business world.
If I could go back and talk to my 12-year-old self, I’d say: “Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone.” I was reluctant to try new things when I was younger, but every major success in my life has come from doing something I wasn’t sure I could do. If I could bring back one thing from my childhood? It would definitely be my red hair.
To me, hope means there’s always something real to look forward to. Opportunities are out there, but without hope, people often stop searching or never start. And home? That’s my family, whether as kids or now as adults, having them around brings me a deep sense of joy and fulfillment.
I can’t wait to get out there and raise $2,500 and walk the runway for Furnish Hope!
