An ordained pastor, Ken has received extensive training in children and family issues, trauma and loss, antiracism, and racial equity and healing. Previously, while at Starr, he helped Starr in developing its racial healing efforts and training which led to the creation of Glasswing, for which he is a certified, lead facilitator.
Ken holds an Associate of Arts degree from St. John’s College, Winfield, Kansas; a Bachelor of Science degree from Concordia Senior College, Ft. Wayne, Indiana; and a Masters of Divinity degree from Christ Seminary and the Lutheran School of Theology, Chicago, Illinois.

Before returning to Starr, Ken established 1 Day LLC which sought to promote thought and introspection focused on racial healing and equity. The motto of 1 Day is “One Day begins today”.
