Meet the Founder / Family Man
Hello! My name is Brett and I love creating apps that help the world. I built the Clean Drive app to solve my own storage dilemma and I hope it helps you as well.
After storing my files online for many years, my drive account was starting to look like it was owned by a pack rat. I knew it was time for a change. When I went to find my old files or even the files that were consuming all of my storage space, I found there was nothing to help me do it. Enter the creation of Clean Drive.
I’m a pretty laid back guy that enjoys spending time with my family and friends in the great outdoors. I have a beautiful wife and four amazing children. They are the ones that make this all worth it.
Thank you to all my loyal, friendly customers for your support. I’m grateful that you are here!
