Born in the heart of Central Wisconsin, Brent resides in the same community where he was raised - Mosinee. Brent was brought up on solid values and a strong work ethic. His father was a mill worker and local mayor; his mother, a small business manager.

Guided by the value of hard work, Brent worked his way through business school and law school. Returning to his roots, Brent purchased his first home in Mosinee where he still resides today with his wife Tessa & their 2 children.

Brent is tested, proven, and ready to continue to fight for the residents of Central and Northern Wisconsin in Madison. During his tenure as Mayor of Mosinee, the City has experienced population growth that outpaced Marathon County and Wisconsin. The local economy has made historic strides under his leadership with multiple business additions and expansions. Even in tough economic times, Brent was instrumental in securing a new hotel project in the heart of downtown Mosinee.

Guided by his fiscally conservative values, Brent has worked to keep property taxes for businesses and residents low while still investing in much needed infrastructure and public safety improvements. Brent has consistently delivered city budgets that have controlled expenses to levels that have rewarded his community with expenditure restraint aid from the State of Wisconsin.

Representing his community on the Marathon County Board, Brent was often viewed as the voice of reason. As a member of the Board, Brent fought against radically left agendas, government overreach and wasteful spending.

On the Public Safety Committee, he fought to increase resources for the District Attorney's Office and took liberal efforts to lower penalties for drug offenses to task.
