For fun and balance, Ken really enjoys fishing, fresh or salt water. Also, he developed a deep love for sports cars when he was about 11 years old. They (similar to people) "need someone who cares" or they will deteriorate. This love has resulted in considerable experience in maintaining these beautiful vehicles and helps to enable him to relate to others in many areas of life. He has a quite diverse academic and experiential history enabling him to easily relate to others from many different walks of life.
