Testimonials
"I have known Kent since 2008 when he first joined our senior management team. While his official role was to oversee our technology strategy and IT operations, Kent demonstrated an immediate ability to lead discussion and debate in virtually every facet of our business. He will be profoundly missed at Santa Monica Seafood. Worse, our loss will be another company's gain. SMS is no longer the beneficiary of his many talents and brilliance."
Seth Marshall
Former Sr. VP & Board Member
Santa Monica Seafood
"As CIO, Kent skillfully managed our IT department including several managers and analysts. He and his team developed custom applications enabling a very complex, just-in-time operating environment...Kent also identified and led several non-IT company-wide process improvement projects, adding value beyond where a typical CIO would."
James Nissenberg
VP Logistics

"Before working with Kent, I can't say I spent a lot of time working on strategy and business analytics with an IT leader, which is a testament to the unique skill set Kent possesses...I would float an idea, and he would often come back with ideas more thought out and ultimately better than mine were. We were able to partner and develop some Business Intelligence tools to help the company have better access to and analyze the data we had, which is something we sorely needed."

"No matter what decision needed to be made, a discussion with Kent always yielded results. I could always count on him to provide logical and strategic advice. Moreover, Kent always made me feel supported. Whether it’s filling a gap in my technical knowledge, providing a different, strategic view to a complex problem, or simply understanding my need for work life balance, I could always count on Kent to have my back."
Khai Vuong
IT Manager
Santa Monica Seafood
"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."
Tim Mabley
Chief Operating Officer
Aspen Systems, Inc.
"Kent has a wide level of knowledge in many business areas, not just IT. He knows systems, procedures, and processes very well. He has very strong initiative and is always trying hard to identify issues and work on Continuous Process Improvements. He's one of the best at this. We wish others in our organization had his many talents. Without a doubt, Kent would be an excellent choice as a dedicated and knowledgeable business leader with the highest integrity and ethical standards."
