Built On Teamwork
Growing up, Brent was always a part of a team. He had the opportunity to play three different sports in high school and basketball at a DIII school in college. After graduating with a bachelor’s in business management, Brent started a career in the recycling industry at the University of Minnesota. Although he explored other roles, he eventually returned to recycling. His industry experience and knowledge of material collection, baling, and sorting led him to apply for the onsite manager position at Leadpoint.
“I have enjoyed being back in the recycling industry,” Brent shared. “In this role, I try to lead by example. I’m always willing to get hands-on and fill in where needed. I am also big on teamwork. I understand the importance of working together and listening to everyone’s ideas.”
Brent’s work ethic, approach, and success have been influenced by the guidance and support of mentors and a strong network throughout his life. “I ask a lot of questions and appreciated the straightforward answers I received. I listen and use it to shape how I live and approach challenges.”
Outside of work, Brent is an outdoorsman and a movie enthusiast. He loves hiking, fishing (whether on ice or open water), and playing volleyball. His favorite movie genre is historical drama. Brent’s long-term goal is to work in project management or manage a facility, whether in recycling, construction, or even a sports arena.
