After graduation, he worked for and ultimately ran his family’s trucking company for 10 years. In 2004, he took a new career path and began working in court construction. For almost 20 years, Brent has been in the court construction business, specializing in backyard court construction as well as commercial/ private builds. He has a proven track record of sales, design, operations, and every other aspect of court construction. Learning from long time industry professionals early on has allowed him to understand the history of quality court construction and helped him continue to innovate and stay ahead of the trends.
