Brennan was born and raised in Seattle, graduated from the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication at Washington State University, and began his professional radio career in February of 1991 at KONP-AM in Port Angeles, Washington.

There, he served as news director (of a staff of one, himself) and host of the morning news program. In 1993, Brennan moved onto KIRO-AM, the CBS affiliate in Seattle, where for nearly seven years he was an editor, reporter and anchor.
