Ken has been involved with New Day since 1994 and has spanned across the broad spectrum of roles at camp from the early days of magic markers and disposable cameras to modern day "insta-tag-tweets" and smartphones. Like most others, Ken started as an assistant counselor then continued on through the ranks as a head counselor and then onto becoming an activities director.

Ken returned to Camp full time to assume the role as Food Services Director (a.k.a "The Cook") where he has been working to shape the culinary vision at camp to provide a hearty and healthy menu for the community.
