Kent’s story begins in Ohio and takes shape in Los Angeles, where he founded the original Citron Catering 30 years ago. Wanting a family-friendly community to call home, he moved to the Valley and built the brand to what it is today. As a father of two daughters, he’s always valued creating a business rooted in family, community, and genuine hospitality.
