Ken grew up in extreme poverty. His mom had a severe mental illness resulting in ongoing waves of violence and trauma. The fallout from this echoed for decades. Thankfully, God placed key people in his life guiding him towards His hope. Since then, Ken has committed his life to paying this forward in meaningful and creative ways. In 2003, Ken started a health care company, Maximum Personal Achievement Services.

He grew the company into a multi-million-dollar company. During this time, Ken led over 1,000 employees towards their mission of “Expecting more than others think is possible.” Additionally, Ken has also launched Christian mentoring programs including the “20 Minute Challenge” and “Pro Entrepreneur Challenge” connecting college-aged people to God while unlocking their leadership potential.

​Ken blends riveting story-telling, tangible tools, with life-changing challenges when speaking on topics at the intersection of mental health and leadership. This includes keynotes, workshops, retreats, and seminars with students at high schools and universities, as well as leaders in businesses and churches. He has also served as an expert on a professional panel for college students pursuing business careers.
