Professional
After receiving his Bachelor of Science's degree from Towson State University in 1992, Brent began his career in financial services with T. Rowe Price. While at T. Rowe Price, Brent managed a Retirement Plan Participant team that provided service for large companies such as Honeywell, Winn Dixie and Baltimore Gas & Electric.
In early 1999, Brent chose to combine his knowledge of finance with his love of cars when he accepted a position as a Finance Manager for a local automobile dealership.
It was during his 7 years in this position that he became a Northwestern Mutual client. Brent was instantly impressed with the integrity and values of the company and the quality of its people.
In 2006, Brent began his career as a financial services professional with Northwestern Mutual. He feels that Northwestern Mutual mirrors his own values and enables him to serve his clients and community in the best possible way.
In 2008 Brent encouraged his wife, Kelly, to join his team. They enjoy working together to deliver financial security and first class service to those they serve.
Through personal commitment, continuing education and accreditations, Brent has worked diligently in order to provide extensive knowledge and guidance to his individual, family & business clients and his community.
Brent has earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification, as well as the Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU®), Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®), Chartered Advisor for Senior Living (CASL®) and the Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®) designations from The American College.

Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
