He served an LDS Mission in the Eastern States Mission during the New York World's Fair, and then never stopped telling stories about it. Brent loved people, and loved telling stories of the adventures he had. He earned his MBA at the University of Utah and bled pure red throughout his life.

His motorcycle adventures included an epic trip up through Alaska with his son Doug, passed the Arctic Circle even visiting the town of North Pole. He even tried his hand at square dancing with the Electric Squares and the Rocketeers. Brent loved to experience life in bold ways and to share it with those he loved, always inviting and encouraging them to join in with him. His friendships meant the world to him.
