Brent Gardner - DBTV co-founder

After growing up in Muscatine, Iowa, Brent relocated to the Tampa Bay area in the early 1990's. After Co-founding a successful local family business, the combination of Midwest values and the entrepreneurial spirit fueled Brent's passions for love of art, resulting in the promotion of local artists in the City of Tampa's Channelside District. His support and promotion of these artists and the love for Tampa fostered into clients including The Florida Aquarium, The Dali Museum, and Beef O'Brady's restaurant chain. It was Brent's involvement with several local charities and key City of Tampa development projects that resulted with his connection to the sport of Dragon Boating - he has been a vocal advocate ever since. With his partner and DBTV co-founder Bob Singerman, their idea of connecting the Dragon Boat Community evolved very quickly into this revolutionary web portal, launching worldwide awareness to the sport.
