Kent
Kaiser, avid outdoorsman, internationally successful tour guide, and author of
the compelling new autobiography, “Hard Way Back: One Man’s True Story of
Rejoicing through Adversity,” evidenced his true calling at birth -- by sharing
a birthdate with Daniel Boone.
Born
in Niles, Michigan, Kent grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska, and displayed from his
youth a superlative aptitude and unbridled passion for outdoor life, including
fishing, hunting, hiking, and photography.
Through
his businesses, Alaskan Quest and New Zealand Quest, he has fulfilled hundreds
of clients’ lifelong dreams through his custom-made wilderness excursions, from
fishing trips to hunting adventures to sightseeing tours.
An
outgoing and pleasurable person with an endearing sense of humor which is never
far from the surface, Kent enjoys life “both on and off the field.” He carries
his honest and sincere zeal whenever -- and wherever -- he enjoys his favorite
pastimes:
--taking
his longtime four-legged best friend, Chena, on walks, swims, and hikes
--traveling
the world and exploring new locations (though his favorite places remain
Alaska, New Zealand, Hawaii, and Florida)
--quietly
strolling the beach to commune with his Savior, Jesus Christ
--working
out and lifting weights, as he has done regularly for over 25 years
--trying
new restaurants (his menu favorites: prime rib and Alaskan king crab)
--hiking,
rafting, and deep-sea fishing
--photographing
wildlife, particularly bears
--and,
in one of his few indoor preferences, watching movies
Kent
also enjoys time with his family: his mother, Christa, who lives in Alaska; his
daughter, Katie, also in Michigan; his son, Keith, who resides in beachfront
property in Florida; and his granddaughter, Lanie.
Kent is now available to speak at your Club, Church,
Organization or Special Function.
“Hard
Way Back” is a riveting account of Kent’s personal, business, and spiritual
life, and he is willing to share his inspirational story at conferences,
service organizations, churches, SCI clubs, schools, and other venues. He is
willing to travel locally or worldwide to benefit others with his experiences
and life lessons.
Leading
wealthy clients on world class hunting trips was good for business, but Kent
insists: “That’s not who I truly am. What I really like to do is the other
side of my business, and that’s taking people and showing them the beauty of
special places, getting close to the giant bears to take photos, etc. I’m
basically the beach type; a happy- go-lucky type guy, an entrepreneur and
businessman who loves the outdoors . . . and just happens to be blessed with
great common sense, a lot of ambition, and a golden heart.”
Kent
also describes himself as “an extremely adventurous big kid at heart who loves
to laugh and joke.”
