Ken | Morning Star Church

Ken grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta and moved to St. Louis in 1997. He spent most of his career in retail management, with the last 10 years in the Training & Development field of Human Resources. Ken met his wife Mary while they were both working in a store in Atlanta (she was actually his supervisor!) and have been married for 25 wonderful years.

About 20 years ago an associate pastor at the church Ken and Mary were attending in Atlanta asked him to take the position of Assistant Sunday School Superintendent. (His job was to collect the offering from each class and put it in an envelope.) Since then Ken has held many different leadership positions in the church. At MSC, he was the first chairperson for our Administrative Board and the Council on Ministry. Ken started his own consulting company in January of 2009, Leadership Base Camp, and currently does consulting for both MSC and the Missouri United Methodist Church conference as well as other local businesses.

By the way, Mary gets credit for dragging Ken to the very first service for MSC back in 1999, and they have been attending ever since.

What CD do you own that no one would suspect? (CD? Not albums or cassettes or 8-tracks?) How about every Guns ‘N Roses ever issued?

What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream? Baskin Robbins – Pralines ‘n Cream (Their ice cream cake is great too!)

What makes you laugh quicker than anything? Lots of stuff; I love to laugh. (Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Steve Martin, old Saturday Night Live, Animal House, Blazing Saddles, Caddyshack, Stripes, The Blues Brothers, Young Frankenstein)

If your elementary school teachers had to describe you in three words, what would they be? Trouble. Class-clown. Gregarious.

What was your first car? My grandfather’s 1952 Chevy. We had it totally restored and painted metallic green. My friends called it “The Tank”. We could get about 8 people in it comfortably during high school.
