Kent's Story
Since graduation, I've been a practicing proctologist but gave it up recently because of back problems;^) Now the real story...
I graduated from the University of West Florida (Business Admin/Marketing). Married to Darlene (Coral Gable grad). Upon graduation from UWF I was employed as an advertising director for a retail chain in central Florida. Recruited out of central Florida to Raleigh, NC as personnel director for Ivey's Department Stores (now Dillards).
I honed my photography skills since high school and decided to leave the life as a personnel director and open a photography studio in Raleigh. I shot high end portraiture, commercial, aerial and operated a lab for clients. I spent 28 years loving that and decided to retire in 2001.
I sold out of the photography business and then received my general contractor's license and began flipping houses in the city. I grew up in a family that built every house we lived in and learned a lot that I was able to put to good profitable use. In 2010 I de...Expand for more
cided to semi-retire and started scaling down the construction business.
Darlene and I bought some land in western NC and knew we were going to ultimately build and live there. Darlene retired from a 30 year career in education in 2012 and we then moved into our cabin in the mountains that we built. I've started to dabble in real estate and work with the agency High Country Realty of NC in West Jefferson. Lots of fun meeting new friends and keeping my mind sharp.
Forgot to mention but we raised two fantastic sons during the process. Both are married to wonderful soul mates and our youngest son Cameron and Amy have a beautiful baby girl in February 2014. Kyle & Oz delivered their first baby girl in November 2014. Both sons live in northern Virginia.
I've thought about so many high school friends over the years and unfortunately wasn't able to keep in touch as I would have liked. I'm hoping to see everybody in 2016 when SWHS Class of '66 celebrates its 50th year reunion.
Love to hear from you...
