Brent’s Story: Getting Back on Track

While at Progress Valley, Brent started riding bicycles again. With the program manager’s okay, he and other men worked on old bikes that had been left in the garage. Many of the men had lost their licenses, and having a bike helped them look for and get work. Around Progress Valley, Brent became known as “the bicycle man.”

Fixing bikes became a way to help the men around him. When he shared his story in 2023, Brent wrote, “Now I own a bike repair shop!” and “I’m back to being the father that I need to be.” His message to others: “Patience is really the key.”
