Brent Wilhelm

Professional Details

Part of the Optimize team, Brent works with firms to get the most out of Centerbase and to help with improving and sustaining processes.

Although he graduated with a degree in Computer Animation, he came to the tech field a few years later, starting in IT, then moving into data and software support. In 2022, Brent went to work for Centerbase as a Technical Support Rep, and eventually became a Tier 2 and Hypercare Support Specialist. He briefly worked for OpenGov, supporting the Permitting & Licensing SaaS software for cities, towns, and counties, before being approached to bring his experience and product knowledge in Centerbase to the Affinity team. In June of 2025, he joined Affinity as a Solutions Specialist.

Brent’s super-power is sticking to a problem and finding novel solutions. There have been times when others have given up and declared the problem unsolvable, only for him to find a new way of approaching the problem. His favorite part of his job is being able to show someone a new way of doing something that improves their work and processes. He loves the “aha!” moments of discovering something new.

Personal Details

Outside of work, Brent is a huge movie buff, hosts trivia as a quizmaster, and spends way too much time doing karaoke. Talking about movies with Brent is like pulling a loose thread on a sweater—don’t start unless you’re prepared to see the whole of movie history unraveled. He also has two cats that annoy and delight him in equal parts.
