Kent has over 25 years of financial industry experience, specializing in helping the owners of closely held businesses, and successful professionals to reduce their current taxes, plan for retirement, maximize their investments, satisfy charitable desires, and efficiently transfer their assets to their children and grandchildren.  

Kent’s planning work consists of analyzing his clients’ assets, paying close attention to three areas: the accumulation, the conservation, and the ultimate distribution of those assets.  He has the ability to bring creative strategies to complex situations and to provide clients with a financial blueprint which allows them to actively pursue their financial objectives.  No matter what changes take place in the legislative, regulatory, economic, or financial resources environments, his personal mission statement remains the same – “Serve my clients first to help them purse their financial objectives by delivering world-class financial advice, which will put their financial affairs in the best manner possible”.  
 

Kent began his career with Dun & Bradstreet, a provider of business financial information and was affiliated with Ernst & Young, a Big 5 accounting firm. Both provided a meaningful basis for his ultimate transition into the financial planning industry.  Kent launched his financial planning practice in 1999 with Sagemark Consulting, a division of Lincoln Financial Network.
