Ken was born in San Francisco, CA. He was raised by Christian parents, and grew up at First OPC (SF). He was educated at Alma Heights Christian Academy, a Christian school in Pacifica, CA during his junior and senior high school years.
Ken then attended Covenant College in Lookout Mtn., GA and majored in Philosophy and English. While at Covenant he met his future wife, Emily. They were married soon after Ken's graduation in July 2003.
For two years after college, Ken taught English and History at the high school that he had attended in the Bay Area. During this time he came under care of the Northern California Presbytery of the OPC. Ken and his wife moved to Escondido, CA in the Fall of 2005 so that he could begin studying for the ministry at Westminster Seminary CA.
During the summer breaks in seminary, he served in two successive summer internships at Harvest OPC in Vista, CA under the supervision of Pastor Mark Schroeder. In the summer of 2007 as part of his internship, Ken and his wife were privileged to lead a group of young people from the Presbytery of Southern CA to the Czech Republic to assist with the outreach ministry of a church plant in Prague. Ken graduated with an M.Div degree in May 2008.
He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Southern CA in May 2008.

Quoting Ken, "I am thankful for the Lord’s continued provision in the life of my family, and look forward to continuing to serve the church in the ministry of the Word, and seeing the fruit that comes forth from the Spirit applying the gospel to the hearts of His people."
Ken and Emily have one child, Claire.
