Brent spent the first fifteen years of his professional career working in the banking industry. Beginning as a bank examiner for the US Department of Treasury, Brent then migrated into internal audit and loan review. He also served as the Bank Secrecy Act expert for First NH Bank Group in the early days of the law’s aggressive enforcement. Brent then moved into community banking where his accomplishments included building two credit departments from the ground up, writing two comprehensive loan policies, serving as BSA, CRA (where he guided a Harris Bank affiliate to an Outstanding rating) and compliance officer; and ultimately moving into commercial lending where for six of his last seven years he was the top new business producer.
Since leaving banking in 2000, Brent has successfully managed his own consulting practice specializing in transitional business situations and sophisticated problem solving. He has sat at the desk of CEO, CFO and head of sales. He has been involved in starting companies, turning around companies, selling companies and buying companies. He has raised private equity and bank debt in excess of $30,000,000. He has consistently been able to get individuals and companies to enter into unique arrangements outside of their normal business paradigm. Brent has handled significant transactions with such companies as Pepsi, Himmel Nutrition (Ovaltine), SoBe, Walgreens, Medline Industries, Kimberly Clark, Ballys and Careington International.
Brent has a BS in Finance & Economics from Lake Superior State University; a Graduate Degree in Banking from the University of Wisconsin and has completed his coursework, thesis pending, in the MA Catholic Studies-Theology & Ethics program at Loyola University. He is past student and former business partner of Larry Marks, founder of Marks & Associates, a nationally recognized bank sales training firm. Brent has done extensive training for private company personnel, particularly in sales, networking and negotiating and has been a volunteer high school instructor for the past 14 years.
