Ken graduated from Everett High School in 1956. After high school, he enlisted in the Navy and served as a submariner on the USS Albacore. He began his career in the telecommunications industry for New England Telephone and Telegraph in 1959 and eventually transferred to AT&T where he held several IT positions. After 30+ years, he retired from AT&T and moved to Smith Mountain Lake. He chose to spend his retirement sharing his many talents in service to the community. He volunteered for various Christian organizations.

He began attending East Lake Community Church in 2007 where he served in a number of capacities but was best known for his photography ministry.
