Ken is an engineer and scientist, working at Bell Labs and AT&T from 1980 through 1998. From 1998 to spring 2007, he ran a Boulder-based telecommunications consulting business.

Ken has lived in Boulder since 1995 and has roots in Boulder and Colorado that go back to earlier times. His grandfather, a retired dean from Oklahoma State University, rented a cottage at Chautauqua in the early 1950s and Ken remembers running around Chautauqua as a child. Ken has relatives who were prospectors and smithies in the Carbondale area as early as 1880.
