His undergraduate work is in Talented and Gifted Special Education. He continues consulting in schools with T/G and ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers. This instruction has primarily consisted of utilizing the visual arts to enhance students' creative expression with the use of photography, book production, magazine articles, and now audio-visual digital production. He employs this form of art therapy in his healing work with kids. Kent has lectured nationally on this work, especially in ESL applications with Naive American youth.

Kent also addresses keys to a healthy and dynamic lifestyle, where you become more aware of choices you are making as well as learning to trust your intuitive guidance. With this work, you innately will find yourself becoming more accountable for your thoughts, emotional states, and commitment to discovering what works and does not work for you in your life. This all adds up to less obligatory thoughts and actions that do not serve you, and conversely more clear intention for what does truly meet your needs. The bottom line is that Kent is a person who will do his best to facilitate core change as long as you put your own self-discovery first. When you surrender to mystery in the NOW, the healing will come. He respects only assisting those whose hand is out, and will confirm with you your readiness for change..
