Raised in Italy and Switzerland, Brent joined Rainier Mountaineering Inc. in 1986 and splits his time between skiing and guiding on Mt. Rainier. He is now a Veteran Senior guide and Advisory Board member for RMI. Brent leads annual expeditions to Mt. McKinley in Alaska and the European Alps. 

Brent returned to Everest in 2001 as part of the Mallory and Irvine Research Expedition, which searched for clues to what happened to the two climbers in their final push toward the summit. On April 29th Brent and fellow climber Jake Norton located Mallory & Irvine's Camp 6 at about 8140-meters on Everest's North Face.

In addition to his adventures on Everest Brent's climbing resume includes 10 expeditions to Mount McKinley, 2 expeditions to the Wrangell-St. Elias Range, Alaska, as well as an expedition to Mt.
