Bio
Over the many years I've known Ken, going back to 1986, he has always exhibited an incredible dedication to his work, a great ability to find and tell the stories that reveal the deeper, human truths, and an innate knack for getting along with everyone he encounters.
Ken is not only a talented writer who can as deftly pull off a piece on the local football star as he can get to the heart of even the densest selectboard meeting — but he is also one of the nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He is always extending himself for his co-workers, he has solid instincts in finding the story beyond the story, and his writing is always energetic to the last line. Without a doubt, a great reporter and a good man.

Sep 1984 - Feb 2005
Experienced all aspects of the sports department in a career that lasted more than 20 years. Began as a call taker but also worked as a copy editor and layout editor, as well as a reporter, during which time I covered, among other teams, the Holy Cross College football and basketball teams as well as the New England Patriots, with whom I spent six seasons, three which culminated in Super Bowl Success.
