Brent brings a collaborative, practical, and results-oriented approach to complex challenges. He is excited to work alongside Midtown’s businesses, residents, community partners, and public agencies to help create safe, welcoming public spaces and support the continued vitality of Sacramento’s urban core.

When not trying to find and sample from the incredible coffee scene in Midtown, Brent can be found constructing a puzzle, reading, traveling with his wife, and hanging out at with their adopted 8-year-old Yorkie, Cody.
