Ken was born and grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His fascination with all things Roman began with seeing the film “Ben-Hur” when he was nine years old. From then on, he saw as many epic films as he could, thanks to the generosity of his parents. Reading took a close second as he studied archeology, ancient empires, mythology, biblical scholarship, comparative religions, science fiction, and thrillers.
His professional career took him into another direction though: Information Technology. From programmer to director, he traveled through the industry for forty-eight years with his reading subjects not far behind. During that time, he devised stories which made his wife comment, “You really need to write those down.”
Ken is retired now with his wife, Karen, of over fifty years and lives in southern Florida. They have a wonderful daughter, a terrific son-in-law, and two fabulous, baseball-loving grandsons. And now, he’s writing those stories down.
