Brent is a [[SoCalization Southern Californian]] meteorologist. And no, it's not [[ItsAlwaysSunnyInMiami Always Sunny in California]].

Brent got used to editing with his real name on the local wiki for Davis, California, daviswiki.org, so it sort of stuck to use his real name as a user name. But a Google search says the name is [[OneSteveLimit unique]]... that whole list is his ridiculous exploits.

Since he hates [[{{Facebook}} The Facebook]], Davis Wiki has his [[http://daviswiki.org/Users/BrentLaabs profile page]].
