There, he specialized in small- and mid-cap value stock analysis, while contributing to portfolio management. He also spent a number of years at Wachovia Bank as a financial advisor and currency trader. Kent’s academic interest is whetted each year at his alma mater, Wake Forest, where he teaches graduate and undergraduate classes on equity analysis.

Kent was raised in Columbia, South Carolina. He and his wife Lisa, a physical therapist, have three children. Kent’s interests include playing jazz and classical trumpet, and spending time with family.
