Kent was born November 29, 1963, to Wayne and Shirley Soper. He grew up in Olympia, Washington where he enjoyed spending time in the woods by his home.

Kent and Char moved to Austin, Texas where Kent worked for IBM, making many friends and enjoying all the Southwest has to offer. Eventually they returned to Utah and Kent started working for the United States Postal Service. Working for USPS was by far Kent’s favorite job. He enjoyed the people he worked with and made friends with many of the people on his mail route.
