Resident of the Month
Tom Kennett
We are proud to recognize Tom Kennett as our Resident of the Month!
Tom was born on an Army Air Corps Base in North Carolina, where his father served as a physician—later becoming part of the United States Air Force. Growing up in a military family, Tom had the unique opportunity to live in various parts of the world, including Tripoli, Libya; Savannah, Georgia; Saudi Arabia; and Germany.
Tom pursued his passion for aviation and engineering by earning a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame, followed by a Master’s degree from the University of Michigan. His impressive career spanned 38 years at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft in Florida, where he played a vital role in the development of rocket and military jet engines.
Outside of his professional achievements, Tom has always had a love for the outdoors. He especially enjoyed hiking and skiing in Montana, and one of his proudest adventures was climbing Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the continental United States, with a longtime hiking partner.
We are thrilled to celebrate Tom’s remarkable life and accomplishments. His adventurous spirit, dedication, and warm presence make him a truly special member of our community.
