Kent has recently retired after a successful career of more than 30-years with the City of Los Angeles. After serving in the U.S. Navy, Kent started working for the city as a machinist and worked his way up to Sewer Operations Manager. While at the city of LA, Kent invented a number of tools for cleaning sanitary sewer pipes, including a reverse three-bladed root saw, a high rpm / low-torque hydro-mechanical can cutter, and a tailpiece nozzle for hydraulic root saws. Using these aggressive cleaning techniques and tools, the City of LA benefitted from a significant reduction in sewer spills.
