After graduating from South Broward High School in Hollywood, FL in 1954, he went on to study Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois. After graduation in 1959, Ken entered the Coast Guard and upon his service ending, he started his engineering career.

Ken married his beloved wife Rhona on March 26, 1966 in Boston and they were married for 55 wonderful years. They had two beloved children together: Stacey and Jason.
Ken was warm, friendly, and always quick to start up conversations with strangers. Endlessly curious and always a seeker of knowledge, Ken was an early adopter of technology throughout his life. Ken stood up for what he thought was right and volunteered for the ACLU. Ken was a creative outside-the-box thinker who marched to his own drummer.
