Brent was born in Kettering, Ohio. He is the oldest of two and was raised in NE Ohio and where he resides with his wife and family. Putting on a show has always been a passion; from being on-stage in a grade school production to high school theater where he was in charge of lighting, sound and SFX. This led to concert lighting crew work in the Cleveland, Akron, and Pittsburgh areas prior to going to college. He was even a production assistant on Americas Funniest Home Videos back in 1989 for their pilot episode. While at the University of Akron, he was cast with the Walt Disney World College Program in Orlando, FL and got to see the magic behind the scenes for nine months.

As comic book fan, his most memorable project to date was Marvel's "The Avengers". Brent went to an open casting call with about 10,000 other hopefuls and was selected to be Tom Hiddleston's (Loki) stand-in while filming in Worthington, PA. Upon completion he was also was asked if he'd like to be in front of the camera for a week of overnights in Cleveland, OH.

Working on Marvel's "The Avengers" lit a fire and Brent has played a number of roles in his short acting career including joining SAG-AFTRA in early 2013. Film and TV are a passion, whether on the production side or in front of the camera. Brent has even trained and worked with Stunt Predators USA and performed as a stunt double.
