Ken's Story
Ken is from Pleasant Hill, California, and after years of moving around the U.S. during his career, is currently back living back in northern California. and is happily married, as well as retired. He graduated from College Park High School (just happy to get out alive); U.C. Berkeley (majoring in "recreational pharmacology?"); and USC (the one on the West Coast, not South Carolina) where he obtained (read "paid for") his Master's in Systems Analysis. After being a pilot in the USMC and working for the Federal Government in Washington, DC, he ended up in public education, where he wandered around aimlessly for 26 years, all the while trying to make people believe he knew what he was doing. He ended this charade as a school high school principal (who would have ever guessed?) and district Director of Curriculum & Instruction in 2016. He has since relocated back to Northern California,...Expand for more
where he spends time on the water with his wife canoeing & kayaking Ken also volunteers regularly with the Ca. Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, and has even been known to step back in the classroom to substitute on occasion (in order to fund his habit of working on a collection of junk cars he refers to as "Classics").
Ken still prefers listening to Jazz, over Rock, & has even been known to listen to symphonies occasionally (Mahler, please)!
Some of Ken's favorite quotes are: "Set your own standards, set them high, & don't worry about what everyone else is doing!"; "Live everyday like its your last; make it count for something!" and "Work Hard, Play Hard!" Even in retirement he still abides by these, since after everything he's done in life (especially flying in the USMC) he's very surprised he's still around to enjoy a retirement! He hopes everyone he knows is able to be doing the same!
