SPIRITUAL JOURNEY 
The great grandson of an Orthodox rabbi from Belarus, Ken says he would have become a rabbi himself if not for making the mistake of betting a college roommate that he prove that Jesus was not the Messiah. How did a nice Jewish boy become an Episcopalian? "It was "the most Jewish church I could find," he says.

PERSONAL 
Born in West Texas and raised in Southern California, Ken moved to Virginia for his secular career, and then to the Maryland suburbs of DC for his ordained career. Ken likes to say he was one of the few people he knows who was able to squeeze a four-year bachelors degree into nine short years and three different institutions of higher learning in two different states (he also holds a M.Ed. and an M.Div.). His two children are grown and embarked on careers of their own, and he and his wife recently celebrated 40 years of marriage. He enjoys bike riding, trying new and different ethnic foods, reading science fiction and fantasy, and contemplating the spiritual implications of quantum physics, entangled states, and "spooky action at distance.

CAREER 
Ken's first career was in training and development in the public, private and consulting sectors. Then after he was final apprehended by God, he was ordained and began to serve the church, first as a staff member of a corporate size parish, then as a church starter in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. Having reached 20 years of age, the church he planted is ready to grow up and Ken is transitioning from full-time parish ministry to training, coach, and mentor the next generation of clergy. Ken is all about finding the truth in paradox, seeking to bridge differences, and experimenting with outside-the-box ways of being church.

STRENGTHS 
Ken has the unusual quality of being able to speak prophetically without totally pissing people off. He is a skilled author, coach, consultant, trainer, conflict transformation negotiator, and church futurist.
