Kent Healy was born in San Jose, CA. At age ten his family moved to New Zealand where he lived for the next eight years before returning to California to finish up his education.

Kent started his first business, Reactor Board Tech, with his younger brother, Kyle, at age 15. Reactor manufactured skim boards, skate boards, t-shirts and other products that were sold in various surf shops in New Zealand.

Reactor also made Kent realize that he was not getting taught some very important life-skills in school. To address this problem, he partnered with his brother at age 17 to write his first book, “Cool Stuff” They Should Teach In School.

Since the book was released in 2005, the overwhelming positive feedback has driven Kent to establish a publishing company called “Cool Stuff” Media, Inc. (CSM) (www.coolstuffmedia.com) .

“We’re starting a movement to motivate and educate young people and parents across the United States,” said Kent. CSM was incorporated by Kent and Kyle to provide the missing link between what young people are taught in school and what they need to know in order to succeed in today’s complex world.

Today, Kent is creating a unique line of personal growth material for teens and young adults. He appears in the media regularly for TV and Radio interviews. Kent frequently travels to speak to audiences of all ages and backgrounds and he is dedicated to helping others by offering them the tools they need to build a life they are proud of.
