Education and Experience
Brent holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Kansas State University where he rowed on the varsity crew, helped found K-State’s club volleyball team, won more intramural sports awards than he can count, and played more pick-up basketball than should be allowed.
After college, Brent started a commercial cattle business, and spent 10 years competing in team roping and tie-down roping in both professional and amateur rodeos. As a business owner, Brent soon realized the economic reality of managing risk and the importance of building a team of trusted advisors.
Eventually, Brent hung up his spurs and earned a Masters in Sports Management at Florida State University, while working as a graduate assistant for FSU’s Men’s Basketball team. After graduating from Florida State, Brent pursued a career as a high school athletic director and basketball coach. That experience seeded Brent’s interest in focused problem solving and risk management planning, and carved his path to becoming a lawyer.
Brent earned his Juris Doctor from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, where he was a Pedrick Scholar. Brent is admitted to the bar in Colorado and Arizona.
Personal Philosophy
Brent is a lifelong sport and outdoor recreation enthusiast who has spent the better part of five decades working or playing outside. Over the years, his endeavors have spanned a diverse spectrum of interests including competitive swimming, rowing and volleyball, coaching and playing basketball, and coaching youth sports such as baseball and mountain biking. Today, Brent has cultivated a deep connection to the outdoors in the mountains, on the trails and in the water.
Most days you will find Brent embracing the outdoors on a mountain bike, telemark skiing, backcountry touring, or whitewater kayaking. Brent donates his time to advocating for various outdoor recreation issues including as an ambassador for Routt County Riders, and as a Parks and Recreation commissioner for the City of Steamboat Springs. Brent is formerly the president of the Desert Foothills Mountain Bike Association, and a former board member for both Playworks and the Phoenix Women’s Sports Association.
Brent and his lovely wife Susan (also a lawyer) have three adult boys. They do their best to keep up. After living in Arizona for 17 years, Brent now resides in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
