Though I have been successful as both a follower and a leader, my place is best as a number two man. My analytical skills are my forte. They give me great incite into people, systems, and plans. My experience is operational and focussed on getting things done. My demeanor points toward methodical but my actions always push to the edge. This brings innovation and creativity to any project I am associated with.I have lived, worked, experienced and leisured in North America, Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific. Born in a large city I struggle from its lure and look for adventure in the periphery. I love the grandeur and majesty of the mountains but somehow find myself on islands near the sea. I've worked in the arctic in winter and the desert in summer. I lived in the middle of the Atlantic, the Azores, and the middle of the Pacific, Hawaii, in England and in New Zealand.I have called eleven states my home from the Mid-west to the Far West to the deep South, urban to suburban to rural. I have flown in fighter jets, helicopters and across the pond many times. Drove through the Mohave Desert and the Empty Quarter. Floated down the Rhine, the Mississippi, and the Wanganui. Fished in the Atlantic, the Pacific, Canada, and Germany.But best of all I have three grown children who have taken a part of me and grew it into their personal fabric so that I have a special bond with each that transcends across the distance. And finally I have Row, my wife, who keeps me in love, warmth, friendship, and thought.I have won, lost, and tried my best and now I wish to tell you a story. Ken
