Kent is great to work with. He is a team player as well as a leader and mentor in the newsroom. What impressed me the most is his close attention to detail, his delivery and news judgment.

Kent was such an inspiration in my early career at KGTV. He had a lot of energy and dedication to his work but would always take time to teach and critique. I am grateful to have worked with Kent, a true professional. Kent is very talented and an asset to a news team.
Melinda Meza
formerly of KGTV San Diego
I worked with Kent as a summer intern at KJEO TV in Fresno. I was a college student with absolutely no experience in a newsroom; just an internship requirement to fulfill and a curiosity about the news business. Kent immediately took me under his wing. He answered my questions, explained the specifics of the newsroom and encouraged me to explore a career in broadcasting. I never spent a minute sitting around the newsroom wondering what to do next. Kent involved me in every aspect of the stories he was working on; and whether he was covering a farmer with an unusually large puddle in his field or a wildfire in the foothills, his enthusiasm and passion for his work was obvious and inspiring. It was-and still is-very clear to me that he is an interested, engaged person who cares about the stories he covers and the people he works with. I am lucky to have Kent as a mentor and a friend.
