The ex-bikie enforcer who turned to mental health advocacy

The ex-bikie enforcer who turned to mental health advocacy

Brent Simpson is a former sergeant-at-arms for the Bandidos Motorcycle Club.

Considering his childhood was marked by poverty, physical and sexual abuse, it's almost easy to imagine how he found community and connection within the bikie gang.

What is hard to imagine, however, is how someone could leave that club and commit their life to mental health advocacy - a path Brent has not only embarked on but continues to do so.

Be sure to tune in to Australian True Crime later this week for an episode that delves into Brent's childhood story.
