In 1996, they welcomed twin boys Kyle Jacob and Connor Joseph and then added Cameron Reese to the team in 2001. After college, Ken went on to build a career serving in various roles throughout the chemical, rail, and transportation industries. Throughout his time in these industries, he made many lasting friendships and enjoyed his career and colleagues. Ken was an avid golfer and loved to cook and entertain. He loved cooking for family and friends and always insisted that the boy’s friends join us around the dinner table.

He enjoyed coaching little league baseball, spending long Saturdays at the swim meets, attending numerous band concerts, baseball games, and football games in support of his boys. He loved going to church for worship and had a strong faith in God that has sustained him throughout his life.
