He is the Vice President of Concentric International, a company manufacturing construction equipment.

Brent recently talked to KRGC about his daughter.

“I see a lot of myself in Caitlin in terms of passion for the game,” he said. “The games where the stakes are high is really nervous for me, but I am trying to work on being more supportive and positive. She will look at the stands ever so often and I try to give her some reassurance. I do the best that I can.”
