Bio
Tom Doerr
Kent is a progressive thinker who "gets" the unlimited potential of mobile media. He is an excellent leader who manages people thoughtfully and effectively. I highly recommend him as a leader and as a person.
Dan Shelley
I know Kent as not only a formidable online content strategist but a smart implementation tactician as well. He is a proven expert at using a local TV station Web site to do more than just repurpose the on-air content. His site is an excellent example of how to use the Web to enhance a station's brand and, more important, its relevance to the news and information consumers it serves.
