He graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1969 and continued to be a proud alumnus throughout his life. He was an inventor and out-of-the-box deep thinker, who was instrumental in launching Cybermotion Inc. in Roanoke, VA, where he co-authored patents and developed new robotic technology. He was devoted to his Christian faith and as he moved several times throughout his life, he found solace and peace in his community church and contributed as a Sunday school teacher. Although he was relatively new to the Orlando area, he quickly immersed himself in his new community, serving as a Cub Scout leader and supporter of Ligonier Ministries.Besides his love of family and friends, Ken strived for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. He witnessed through words and actions to everyone he knew and humbly led a life of deep Christian faith.
