Ken received his MBA from Grand Valley State before entering the banking industry. He was a longtime employee of Bank of Indiana, followed by Brinks.

Ken was a faithful member of Bethel Christian Reformed Church of Lansing, IL. He had a love of trains throughout his life, and was a model train club member. He was an avid bowler, and bowled in leagues for many years. He loved watching sports, especially University of Michigan games. Go Blue!
