Brendan Morrissey has been dubbed “the serial entrepreneur” and for good reason.  Dyslexic himself, Brendan learned that his son, at the age of six, was also Dyslexic.  Searching for materials and information, Brendan began to develop a support structure for the Dyslexic community.

He received an award from Microsoft for his important developments in technology that continue to evolve and foster connections that directly support those affected by and supporting the Dyslexic community.                                                                                           
Some of his contributions that support Mentors and students in the Dyslexic community are iDyslexic; eschools, and wonde.  Other contributions are: Rascal Reads (available only in Ireland at the moment), ProTunes, QuizApp, Mishon, DataEgg, and Safe Pal
