For the past five years, he has taken on an additional role leading the safety department for his organization.

Finally, Ken enjoys kayaking, hanging out at the lake in his community, participating in church activities, spending time with family, and cooking big Sunday dinners.
If you would have bet Ken and his family when he was younger, that he would be Senior Director of Safety, Training & Development – they would all have taken that bet, raised you by going all in, and had a good laugh at the time. It’s funny how life turns out.
