After completing school, Kent was hired by the United States Air Force as an associate professor and taught air crash investigation, flight physiology, and human factors in flight. Kent taught at six different bases over a 17-year period. From 2000 to 2004, Kent served as Mayor of Longton, Kansas.

Despite opposition from oil companies, Kent successfully advocated for the Caney River and Elk River Wind Farms during his time as mayor. To date, he is the only Green Party Candidate to ever be elected and hold public office in Kansas. Additionally, Kent has some limited experience as a substitute teacher in K-12 schools.
