These credentials reflect his dedication to ongoing learning and delivering exceptional service. His mission is to help clients gain financial clarity, manage risks, and make confident, well-informed choices about their financial futures.

A graduate of the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, Brent began his career in Madison before returning to his hometown of Appleton. Now living in the Erb Park neighborhood where he grew up, Brent and his wife Annie are raising their two children, Calvin and Everly, in the same community he has always loved. He values the strong sense of connection and belonging that Appleton offers.

Outside of work, Brent enjoys board and card games, investing in collectibles, and spending time with his three orange cats. Whether at the office or at home, he’s always looking for ways to blend his passion for strategy and personal connection.
