Brent graduated from River Falls High School in 1989. He attended Coleman College in San Diego, CA and graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering Technology.

Brent worked for the Hudson School District for 15 years until an injury shortened his career.

Brent had an engaging personality and developed special friendships with people of all ages.

Brent was a passionate fan of the Minnesota Vikings, loved to trout fish in Kinnickinnic River, ride his motorcycle and trail riding with his bicycle.
