In 1965, when Ken was just 12 years old he was sexually violated and raped by a male mentor, someone who he trusted. With his innocence in tatters he was then sexually assaulted by an older female. 

For the next 30 years Ken carried around rage, anger, hurt, guilt and shame. He had violent outbursts and nearly killed a police officer. Ken was void of emotion and empathy as he himself was stuck in Trauma.

In 1991 Ken took himself off in search of help - at this time there were little resources for male victims of sexual abuse. He was turned away by many places until one person showed him kindness and pointed him in the right direction.

For the last 20 years Ken has made it his mission to help as many men as possible, running male support groups, giving TedTalks and inspiring many.
