Ken uses his down time helping the community through his service in the Washington State association of Realtors where he was appointed as an RPAC trustee in 2019 and through the Kittitas County association of Realtors where he was elected as a director in 2017 and as the association President in 2019. When Ken is not working or serving his community, he enjoys spending time with his family, wife Deena, son Karsten, daughter Kennedy and step\342\200\223daughter Kodee. When time permits, you will find Ken out on the golf course, trying to beat his best round.
