Kenton earned his undergraduate degree in biology from Bluefield College in 2019.

Kenton is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys fly fishing, hiking, and kayaking. During his time in undergraduate, Kenton was a member of both the Fishing Club and Trout Unlimited.

He has volunteered in river cleanups and restoration projects “to restore native fish populations throughout the Appalachian region.”

After graduating, Kenton shadowed physicians in Virginia.

He wants to become a physician assistant so that he can work to provide quality care in underserved rural areas.
