I still use many of the same techniques in software development that I learned from Ken almost nine years ago back in 2001. I was lucky enough to have Ken as my supervisor after a move from the Operations group to IT. We worked many hours on a very difficult project that involved multiple offices in different countries. What impressed me most about Ken was how adept he was at rapid development of code. Meeting Ken had a huge positive impact on my career. As a supervisor, he was a great guy to be around and when our company started going under as many of the dot coms did around the turn of the century, he even called me at home to make sure everything was alright after I was let go in the second wave of layoffs. I think this speaks volumes as to how Ken is not only as an employee but as a person. NPD or any company, is lucky to have him on board.
