Kenton Smith has spent most of his adult life teaching English at a small high school near Mt Rainier in Washington State. Smith, semi-retired, chooses to teach today at Centralia College East, a small satellite college also near Mt. Rainier. Smith was the co-author with Micheal Hurley of I Solemnly Swear: Conmen, DEA, the Media and Pan AM 103 and has since authored The Pipsqueak Kid, with Micheal and his brother Jerry Hurley’s assistance. Kent has received three Teachers of the Year Awards --- one from students, one from his fellow teachers, and one from the community which he serves --- and he treasures them as some of his highest achievements, although it is as a writer that Kent feels most comfortable. He has written several plays, one non-fiction work about the actual teaching of writing, and numerous short stories.
At the college level Kent usually teaches English 101, English Fundamentals, American Drama, Film, or Creative Writing.показать меньше
