At the young age of 32, Kent Sr was promoted to director of retail operations for a multi-million dollar company. During that time there was a lot of growth and learning the hard way. However, that helped accelerate the learning curve and feel comfortable enough to branch out into the entrepreneur field.
After diving full force into the entrepreneur field, he quickly received his first "reality check" on business 101. During this time, opportunities kept arising and allowed Kent Sr to help his dads business in Memphis Tn.
