Growing up in Tacoma, Brent developed a passion for working with youth at an early age. After a period of time away from the Boys and Girls Clubs, Brent has happily returned to an organization he loved. Brent graduated from Wilson High School and then attended Pacific Lutheran University where he received his Bachelors in Print and Broadcast Journalism in 2006. During his tenure at PLU, Brent worked as a program specialist at both the Lakewood and Eastside branches. Upon graduation Brent found work in retail management before returning to PLU to receive his Masters of Fine Arts in Education, which he completed in July of 2009. While getting ready to wrap up his masters program, Brent discovered an opportunity to once again work for the Boys and Girls Clubs and he knew it was an opportunity he could not pass up. He returned in June of 2009 in the form of K-6 Program Director for the South Pierce County branches. Brent has loved the opportunity to be back with the Boys and Girls Club helping spread the Kids at Hope mission to the youth of the South Pierce County area. Brent currently lives in Puyallup and enjoys playing Basketball, fishing and spending time with his friends. Brent is also currently in the process of writing a book, which he hopes one day to have published.
