He also has a great love for medieval architecture. In the summer of 2012, he spent a week rafting through the Grand Canyon with creation geologist Andrew Snelling where he developed an interest in exploring the geology of National Parks.  Brent attempts to stay connected to his field through professional memberships, auditing courses, attending conferences, and reading extensively.
