Ken grew up in Maryland, graduating from the University of Maryland in 1985 with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. In college, Ken started a residential house painting business and continued this successfully for many years upon graduation.

In 1997 Ken moved out West and began working as a horse wrangler and mule packer, first in southwestern Colorado and eventually in western Montana, where he attended law school at the University of Montana in Missoula. Graduating in 2001, Ken practiced law in both Montana and Wyoming for fifteen years, while continuing to ride, hunt and pack throughout the Rocky Mountain west. In 2021 Ken retired from law and relocated to the pastoral countryside of Buskirk, New York where he has been happily involved in renovating an old 1860 brick house and spending time with his two dogs, Huck and Tubs. Ken enjoys volunteering in his community and plans to re-visit Scotland in the near future.
