An honors graduate of Texas A&M University, Kent earned a bachelor’s degree in business from the Mays College of Business, where he worked on several Student Government committees and was recognized for his active involvement in student life. While in college, Kent interned in the Houston office for former President of the United States George H. W. Bush. Upon graduation, he continued his education at the University of Houston Law Center, serving as an Associate Editor for the Houston Business & Tax Law Journal.

After graduation, Kent entered the oil and gas industry as a field landman before transitioning in-house with an E&P company in Oklahoma City. There, he gained significant experience negotiating farm-out agreements and working with field landmen. As a landman, he conducted independent due diligence for several hundred-million-dollar acquisitions and developed a deep understanding of all land department functions. Kent began examining title while working in East Texas, where he developed a strong background in oil and gas law by conducting both stand-up and sit-down title examinations.
