At the age of three, Ken moved with his parents and sister to Houston, Texas, where he would attend Reagan High School and the University of Houston, College of Pharmacy. After graduating college, Ken would own and operate his family pharmacies for more than 30 years and thereafter work for many years as a licensed pharmacist for Kelsey Seybold Clinic and CVS Pharmacy.

For more than 40 years, Ken was an active member of First Baptist Church of Houston and after his retirement from work attended Second Baptist Church. For many years, Ken served as an ordained chaplain in the Bill Glass Prison Ministry mentoring and disciplining your prisoners, traveling on numerous church building missions trips to Mexico, volunteering as a ESL teacher for the Fort Bend County Literacy Council, and supporting the Pro-life work of the Pregnancy Resource Center of Fort Bend County and the charitable relief work of Compassion International for underprivileged children.
