In March of 1995, he started working for sound company Clair Brothers and has been with them ever since. That year he worked for 10 artists, 12 venues, and at least 10 sound companies. Within a year he had established a reputation as a hard worker throughout the Nashville production community. After one year at the amphitheater, Brent was promoted to "house sound guy." These duties were maintaining the lawn PA system, interfacing with each tour engineer that came in to the building, and making sure the spotlights were in proper working order. Bolting trusses, setting up risers, and running video cables were all part of the daily duties. He rose quickly in the ranks of stagehands. In 1991 he was hired at Starwood Amphitheater. In 1990, college degree in hand, he moved to Nashville to embark on his new career. This is the day that changed the course of his life.
