Brent currently serves as community outreach coordinator for the Reno Housing Authority, which helps about 4,000 families afford to live in Reno, Sparks and Washoe County. He has also served as communications director for a congressman, candidate and governor and has taught journalism and writing at the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Brent also consults businesses and individuals on effective communication in all forms and serves as a moderator and emcee of community events.
