Ken grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His fascination with all things Roman began with seeing the film “Ben-Hur” when he was nine years old. From then on, he watched as many epic films as he could, thanks to the generosity of his parents. Reading and art joined movies as his other passions. His reading list included archeology, ancient empires, mythology, biblical scholarship, comparative religions, science fiction, and thrillers.

His professional career took him in another direction though: Information Technology. From programmer to director, he traveled through the industry for forty-eight years. But during that time, he devised stories which made his wife comment, “You really need to write those down.”

Ken is retired now with his wife, Karen, of over fifty years and lives in southern Florida. And, he’s writing those stories down.
