After moving to Louisiana in 2006, Ken worked for 3C's Properties as a foreman, where he was known for his dedication and leadership on the job.

He developed a love for motorcycles at the age of 14 when he got his first bike, sparking a lifelong passion for riding.

Above all, Ken was a devoted father and grandfather who treasured every moment spent with his children and granddaughter.
