A lifelong Snohomish County storyteller who believes the best stories don't just live in books — they grow from the places we call home, the people we love, and the imagination we carry with us.
Brent's love of storytelling began in childhood, listening to his father spin made-up bedtime tales that always began with the words, "Twice upon a time…"
Those stories… filled with animals, adventure, kindness, struggle, and heart left a lasting impression. Today, they continue to shape the stories Brent writes, which are rooted in imagination, moral courage, emotional resilience, and quiet hope.
For the past three years, Brent has lived in Everett's historic Lowell neighborhood, established in 1863, once a small mill town and still rich with stories waiting to be told. He even lives in the restored Lowell Firehouse, the inspiration for Lowell the Firetruck.
That firehouse is more than a backdrop. It's a reminder that the best stories are rooted in real places, real people, and lived experiences, where imagination and everyday life intersect.
Finish the Dream, Lowell the Firetruck, Larry Lizard, Sister & Sister, and Yeah, But Rabbit explore belonging, courage, resilience, and the quiet strength found in every young person.
The Sword & the Ship, Be the RED DOT, Driving Through Yellow Lights, The Same Journey Home, and The Epicenter Effect explore identity, faith, leadership, and spiritual growth — especially within LDS communities.
Rush Reckoning is a fast-paced thriller filled with hidden conspiracies, lost gold, and a veteran pursuing the truth. Shifting Perspective: A Poetry Workbook encourages creative exploration through voice, identity, and self-expression.
Brent is a creative artist across many disciplines, blending creativity and competition throughout his life.
He has received multiple design/build awards and has earned a 2007 World Champion title while representing the United States — a reflection of the drive and discipline that also shape his storytelling.
He lives in Everett with his wife of 35 years, grounded in family, community, and the joy of gathering together.
"The best stories are rooted in real life and carried by imagination."
