Steve Kent

Steve has been involved with the outdoors and aviation from early childhood. He started with Cessna Aircraft Company as an Airframe and Powerplant mechanic with Inspection Authorization, which led to a variety of positions with increasing responsibility, including Propeller, Caravan, and Citation Sales. A highly experienced demonstration pilot, he loves sharing amazing aircraft with prospective owners.

Recently retired from his role as Regional Sales Director for Textron Aviation Propeller Products, serving the Northeast U.S. and Eastern Canada, Steve is an avid seaplane owner and pilot. He previously served as LightHawk’s Board Chair and continues to serve as a volunteer pilot and board member, appreciating the chance to leverage the unique airborne perspective to advance conservation across various watersheds. Steve and his wife, Kristine, reside in southern New York.
