Ken worked for 18 years for Carboline Company in Xenia on Fairgrounds Road and then his years in the workforce in Xenia ended as the Human Resources Director for the City for 18 years and City Manager of Xenia for about 2. He then retired and took his love for public service to Greene County as the Human Resources Director for another 5 years, where he continued to develop the employees of the area. He was a great leader and spokesperson for the government of this community.

Ken also had a big heart for his church community where he was involved as an elder and chaired the leadership committee and used his HR knowledge as part of the Presbytery's Strategic Planning Task Force. He was also very active with the Presbyterian Church and Conference Center, Kirkmont, where he was a committee chair and business consultant for many, many years.

His love of family, nature and serving others showed through his amazing practices every day. He supported his children through all of their strenuous education and music endeavors and taught everyone around him the strength needed to work hard and stay focused on the future.
