Kenton actively engages in community giving and vouches for the importance of giving back to the society one way or another. According to Kenton, he hopes that his partaking in community initiatives would encourage the business community and his personal connections to get involved. He says that involvement in the community can be enacted in several means, from the indirect way of mentoring business colleagues to the more demonstrable manner of participation in non-profit organizations.
"I get more satisfaction I think, at this stage of my life, by giving back to non-profits because I think you can really make a difference. And I've seen it over time," Kenton says. "I've been involved with the five non-profits and continue to be actively involved."
"It's more than just giving money, it's giving of your time, and to help make Hawaii a better place to live."

And today, he practices deep involvement in the community as he ventures off along the entrepreneurial path.
