Hi, I’m Brent and I’m a researcher at the Army Cyber Institute at West Point. I also teach in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I started in the military as a cryptanalyst until I was offered an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy as a cadet. In addition to studying electrical engineering and computer science at West Point, I participated in student hacking and tinkering clubs and spent my summers using my MacGyver skills while interning at various government agencies. After graduation, I joined the Army’s communication branch, the Signal Corps, as a Second Lieutenant. Recently, the Army introduced a new branch, Cyber, and I am thrilled to be among the first few Cyber Officers selected.
When not in uniform, I spend my time in my wood shop making stuff big and small, or out photographing the world. I also spend a lot of time attending awesome events like Maker Faire and various security conferences. I have a passion for technology education and I love tinkering with (breaking) gadgets. I usually post the evidence on my site http://www.brentmorelabs.com.
I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences as a military technologist & maker.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
