Ken felt called to the field of counseling after a near-death accident riddled his life with physical, psychological, and spiritual challenges. Upon recovering his ability to walk, talk, and think again, he realized how God used a tragic life event to develop a unique set of skills he now uses to genuinely help others through dire circumstances. While working with diverse populations and a variety of mental health issues, Ken has discovered the most effective way to help someone process through difficult emotions is to allow God to guide the therapeutic process.

Ken now lives in Dayton, OH where he works at Kettering Health Behavioral Hospital. He and his wife enjoy traveling where they can engage a variety of cultural experiences. They both have a heart for all animals, but are most fond of their 3 cats – Remi, Mozzie, and Zella.
