Brent was born and raised in East Central Iowa where he lives with his wife, Tracie, a school teacher, and their 3 kids. He was blessed to have grandparents who started his passion for the outdoors at a young age, by taking short pheasant hunting and fishing trips on friends' and family farms. With most of his teenage years spent fishing and bird hunting, he didn't start big game hunting until his early 20's. He quickly fell in love with bow hunting, especially whitetails. Since then he has been fortunate to hunt 8 states and Canada for a variety of game.
