Ken currently serves on the board of directors for Community Church Rancho and Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Inland Empire. Ken has been married to Angela for 31 years and they have one daughter. He enjoys wine (you’re not surprised, are you?), spending time with his family, and flying airplanes. He and Angela have 2 dogs.
Early in his sales career he adopted a saying from Zig Ziglar – “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” This has been the way he’s built the business from the ground up – with guests, employees, and ultimately, with his franchisees.
