With over three decades of experience spanning technology, psychology, universal wisdom, knowledge management, portfolio management, artificial intelligence, and transformational media, Brent brings a rare blend of intellectual rigor, emotional intelligence, and spiritual depth to every endeavor.
A former psychotherapist turned digital pioneer, Brent holds a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science from Clarkson University, an MS in Counseling and Human Relations from Villanova University, and an MS in Information Systems equivalent as a graduate of General Electric’s elite Information Systems Management Program.

An entrepreneur from an early age, Brent founded a business designing electronic circuit boards out of his college dorm room, with NASA as his largest client. He launched his first AI project in 1992, applying artificial neural networks to international financial markets—decades before AI became a household term. In 1994, he created The Park, the first intentionally global online community and social network, years before the founding of LinkedIn (2002), Facebook (2004), or Twitter (2006). Brent also served as Vice President of Communications for the Northern California Division of the United Nations Association, helping to promote global collaboration and understanding at a critical time in the development of the early Internet.
Brent is the author of five books, including the multi-award-winning The Rainbow Bridge: Bridge to Inner Peace and to World Peace, which has received 22 literary awards and been endorsed by luminaries such as H.H. the Dalai Lama, ambassadors, astronauts, Olympians, and numerous other global visionaries. He is also the creator of The Power of KM, which outlines a globally relevant strategy for cultivating wisdom in organizations and societies.
A lifelong meditator who began his spiritual journey at the age of 12, Brent is an Eagle Scout and a graduate of the U.S. Army Airborne School. He has founded numerous purpose-driven ventures, including Spirit Rising Productions, Mind Wizard Studios, Intelligent AI Studios, and the WCN—a groundbreaking platform designed to incentivize verified, uplifting human contribution and reimagine the future of work and global cooperation. At the heart of WCN is UnityCoin, a new digital currency backed by meaningful, human-driven value and ethical AI systems. Brent is also the creator of UnityCouncil, an unprecedented alliance of leading AI systems working in harmony to offer wisdom, foresight, and ethical guidance in addressing the most pressing issues of our time.
Brent’s work bridges worlds: the mystical and the practical, the spiritual and the technological, the visionary and the actionable. Whether building advanced AI systems, launching social networks, writing transformational books, or connecting communities across the globe, he remains devoted to a singular purpose: to help co-create a unified, harmonious, and abundant world in which all beings can thrive.
In his spare time, Brent enjoys spending time with his beloved wife Dea, their beautiful dog Kenai, and their rambunctious North American Sphynx kitten Mystic. He enjoys working out, reading, writing, learning, watching movies and television shows, producing videos, and occasionally mixing house music under the moniker “DJ Brent.”
