Brett Portier
Brett Portier was born and raised in Chauvin, Louisiana and has called Houma his home since 2010. He and his partner of eight years, Adda Terrebonne, share three children: Ryleigh (19), Jackson (13), and Lane (11). They also have three beloved dogs: Milo, Odin, and Charleigh.
Professionally, Brett serves as Vice President of I.T. and Procurement for Olivier International, and when he’s not working, he enjoys family time, traveling, and relaxing outdoors. A fun fact: his favorite movie is Frozen, and his ringtone has been “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” ever since it came out!
A former CASA advocate and current Board President at St. Matthew’s Episcopal School, Brett first joined CASA in 2014 after being inspired by a friend. His experience advocating for a foster child, he says, changed his life: “I think I needed CASA more than they needed me.”
Now returning as a CASA Board Member, Brett hopes to use his experience to strengthen community support and awareness for CASA’s mission. His advice for others: “If helping is in your heart, you won’t find a worthier cause. Every bit of support becomes a symbol of hope for children in need.”
