Brent began his mock trial career in high school competing for Lake Oswego High School in Oregon. He joined UWMT as a freshman and was quickly nicknamed "Daddy Long Legs" for his impressive height and presence. During his four years as a Husky mocker, Brent helped advance two UW teams to the National Championship Tournament.

Because he just cant shake the mock trial bug, Brent has continued his involvement in the club as an assistant coach.
