Spending his time as a child between odd jobs at his Uncle’s Chrysler dealership where his mother was Office Manager, and helping his father maintain the Kenworth, Peterbuilt and Ford trucks they used in his father’s trucking company, Ken was hooked on anything with wheels.
Early own, Ken was groomed to follow in his cousin’s footsteps to be an attorney. But Ken’s love of Cars and Computers kept beckoning him. While working toward his parents dream of Law School, Ken realized what “he” wanted to do was work with computers. Ken enrolled in Computer Science at Texas State Technical College where he met his wife of 20 years. Computer programming wasn’t paying the bills, and with a baby on the way, Ken used his dealership experience to land a position with a Chrysler-Plymouth dealership in central Texas. Wasn’t long until Ken was offered a position with Val Strough Chevrolet in California. Then tragedy struck and Ken and his family moved back to his hometown to take care of his mother when she had heart surgery. Ken immediately went to work at another dealership he spent a lot of his childhood in, Glass Chevrolet, where his Aunt had been the office Manager. After developing some unique trucks like the ZR-10 S-10 pickup for the dealership, Ken went on to help Mr. Berka, the Ford dealer next door, realize his dream of putting a Ford and Chevrolet Dealership in one building.
