Kenneth's Story
Following graduation from high school, I tried college for a couple of years studying electrical engineering, but left college and joined the Navy entered into the nuclear power program with emphasis on electronics and controls.
I really enjoyed what I was doing in the Navy and decided to make a career out of the service. Upon joining I spent the first two years in schooling for the power program. Served on four different submarines, both fast attack and ballistic missile. Additionally did two instructor tours teaching electronics and reactor principles at nuclear power school. Stationed in Pearl Harbor, Orlando, Charleston, and Kings Bay, Ga. I found the program to be very challenging and enjoyed working with a great group of people.
After I retired from the naval service, I went to work with Siemens Energy, Inc. Siemens is a worldwide company with about 300,000 employees worldwide. I have been with them now for over 17 years in various capacities. Currently I am the plant manager a...Expand for more
t the St. Francis Power Plant in Campbell, MO. I continue to enjoy the challenge that the job provides. Currently, I'm not sure when I will retire as I enjoy what I do and the people I work with are great to work with.
For hobbies, I enjoy doing just about anything (hunting, shooting, woodworking), but camping is currently my favorite - you meet great people camping and my wife and I enjoy the solitude it provides and seems to slowdown the runaway train that we're on. My wife is retired from the USDA and now has her own quilting business. She does most of it and I'm more on the sidelines.
Previously married and divorced and am currently married to the love of my life for 16 years. Sometimes you don't get it right the first time. We have two children (1 from my previous marriage, and 1 from her previous marriage), and 3 grandchildren.
Oftentimes Mary and I are amazed at how God has blessed us in a multitude of ways and that if we trust and follow Him, He will never turn away from us.
