Kenneth Carson "Ken" Boyd

Ken was born October 10, 1947 in Washington DC. He grew up loving to play basketball, which was curtailed by a car accident in high school. Ken had a robust career in the banking industry and in 1991 transformed that into a successful, independent financial planning firm. Ken married his loving wife Brenda, at the age of 34 and moved to Charlottesville, Va where they lived for 36 years. Outside of work, Ken loved to go camping with his family, fishing, traveling, coaching his sons’ sport teams, and mastering his grill. His greatest passion was serving his community. He was elected to the Albemarle County School Board where he served 4 years. In 2003 he was elected to the Albemarle county Board of Supervisors for 12 years and served as chair from 2007 to 2008. In 2018, he sold his financial planning business and retired to Southport, NC. In retirement, he enjoyed spending time at the beach and with his family.
