It’s Kent Johnson!
A City employee for 22 years, Kent is the Exam Coordinator for Civil Service, coordinating written and physical performance and equipment tests for employees.
He’s lived in East Tennessee his entire life, except for the time he attended Tennessee Tech. And his family has resided in Tennessee since before it was a state.
In addition to volunteering his self-defense and coaching skills, Kent has performed martial arts demonstrations to raise funds for various causes. He's also engaged his powerlifting team in a Lift-A-Thon and raised several thousands of dollars for Isaiah 17 House for foster kids in Blount County.
Kent Johnson is a generous neighbor and colleague. What is his biggest source of pride?
"I love being a dad and consider my sons my greatest accomplishment," he says.
Thank you, Kent, for your service to the City of Knoxville and your neighbors in need!
