Hi, I’m Terry Brutus.
Embedded Files
I'm a former Division I basketball player turned Lead Instructional Systems Designer based in Alexandria, Virginia. The same discipline, strategic thinking, and commitment to excellence that drove me on the court now fuels my approach to creating government and military training that actually works.
My approach combines learning science with proven ISD frameworks—because I believe effective training requires both theoretical grounding and practical application. With 7+ years in the field, I specialize in making complex content clear, accessible, and engaging.
A Few Things About Me:
A Few Things About Me:
I'm deeply detail-oriented (because in my field, lives can depend on it)
Tech geek + systems thinker with a natural knack for communication
Whole-foods lover, black coffee fanatic, and obsessed with ingredients
Humble, people-first approach to all things I do
Now addicted to pickleball (still competitive, just less jumping)
