How in the World did Brent start creating Ice Castles?
About Me
- Brent
- "Brent Christensen was born and raised in Walnut Creek, California—far away from ice, snow, and freezing winters. He developed a spirit of adventure and enterprise and learned mechanical skills while growing up in a family of ten. One year the whole family put their skills to the test by riding from California to Utah on bicycles! He later met his sweetheart, Linda, at BYU, and together they are raising six children. Brent continues to tinker and invent, developing patents for two-wheel drive bikes and bicycle trailer systems and running his own mobile repair company called Flying Wrench. When the two eldest sons chose to serve missions for the LDS Church, Brent and Linda got even more creative to pay for the cost of having two missionaries out at once. They rented out their home, and Brent turned on the sprinklers in the middle of winter to create huge, organically shaped, and ever-changing ice castles to earn extra money."--quote by Rebecca Cressman.
