Kent is passionate about helping businesses grow.
Meet Kent
As a young boy, Kent Coleman did not dream of owning a tire store. He did dream of owning…something. Other kids wanted to be a baseball player or a firefighter, and Kent wanted to be a “business man.” Now Kent is a speaker, a writer and an entrepreneur. After earning an MBA, Kent has founded or purchased over a dozen successful companies.
Currently, Kent owns a chain of 13 auto repair franchises and various commercial properties. Not a car guy himself, Kent’s auto repair shops are consistently some of the highest-producing stores in the nation. His strength is getting to the root of an issue, and he has a knack for asking the right questions to solve the right problems. He and his wife, Crystal, have four children and they love the outdoors including the mountains, the trees, the beach, and the slick rock. Kent and his family live in Utah.
