1955-2012
Kent was a travel writer for decades and once ran a travel agency in Arizona. He spent the last ten years of his life in pleasant green Ulster County, about 90 miles from NYC. He and his wife Lisa shared a study and the common love of books, teaching and writing. Kent wrote a column for the Lincoln Eagle in upstate New York, and was also a correspondent for California's largest travel radio show "Around the World Radio." Kent took his final trip in November 2012, but you can still read his dozens of travel stories all over our site. He will always be remembered. Read Kent's stories on GoNOMAD Joe Obeng, Webmaster and the original technical brain behind GoNOMAD  1970-2013Joe Obeng worked with Max at Transitions Abroad magazine, and when the site was purchased, he left and jumped in with both feet. For eleven years, Joe was the webmaster and the technical brains behind GoNOMAD. He was always behind the scenes, but he helped us do everything we had to do. Without formal computer education, he was amazingly clever at figuring out how to do just about everything, from making the printers work, to installing all of the blogs, to designing much of the former site's look. He worked for many people doing computer repair and web design, he was loved by many and never had a bad word to say about anyone. Sadly, Joe fell into a period of ill health in 2012, and in April 2013, we lost him for good. He will always be remembered.
