Kent started working for Krislund in 1995 as a sub-contractor doing building remodeling. In 1996 he was hired full time as the Maintenance Director.
Most of the new construction at camp, including eight buildings, is Kent’s handiwork. He is busy directing the plans and work for the new adult-friendly lodge, with a projected opening in the fall of ’09.
Before Krislund, Kent was the owner of a construction company for about 8 years, building and remodeling homes and businesses in the area.
He enjoys spending time at home, gardening, cutting firewood for his outside wood furnace, butchering, and spending time with his family. One of his most enjoyable hobbies is working in his wood shop building furniture for people.
Kent is married to the Krislund's Office Manager, Sharon Rishel.
