    Testimonials​

    “I have never in all my time (28 years at Aspen Systems) encountered a more consequential individual to a business.  The degree that Kent understood the entire company’s operation (a big one, also growing by acquisition) is astounding.  There is just no other word. And his taking of that granular knowledge and applying technology solutions to it:  He’s just the best I’ve ever seen.”

    My Family

    My wife and kids are not just the most important people in my world – they are my FAVORITE people.  My wife and I adopted our three oldest (Naomi, Nicolas, & Noah) from Guatemala when they were babies.  And then we went on to have two bio-babies as well (Natalie & Nina).  And in recent years, we’ve had the privilege of hosting foreign exchange students from Norway, Spain, Japan, and next year Italy!

    We are raising our 5 kids to WORK HARD and PLAY HARD.  Our children support our busy work lives because they know that we always make time to have lots of fun with them.
