My Background

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, attended Northeast High School and Temple University College of Music. While there, I enjoyed many wonderful performance experiences, worked in retail, gas station management, restaurant management, and drove a taxi. I also began my first venture in network marketing as an Amway distributor.

After marrying at age 27, I moved to the "Quiet Corner" of Northeastern Connecticut. I had the privilege of raising two amazing children, Cynthia and Jeremy. I worked in restaurant management, insurance and financial services, security, and network marketing. I started and grew a successful home-based business doing graphic design and marketing printing services. I began to dabble in website design and maintenance. Heavily involved in my community, I moderated political debates, served as Master of the Brooklyn Grange, President of the Brooklyn Grange Fair, President of the Brooklyn Little League, and Assistant District Administrator for CT District 11 Little League. In 1990 my wife and I were named National Grange Young Couple of the Year and enjoyed traveling around much of the country attending Grange Youth events.

Continuing my passion for music, in my spare time I functioned as a recording producer, arranger, engineer, keyboard artist, and vocalist. I sang with a vocal quartet known as both "New Vintage" and "Well-Seasoned". I also developed a passion for baseball and softball and became a professional softball umpire, working high school, college, and adult league games.

After surviving a stroke and brain surgery for a tumor at age 45, my graphic design business dwindled and I was divorced. I became immersed in the world of Internet Marketing and learned many things that do not work - and a few that do.

When my mother suffered a stroke, I left my life in Connecticut behind and moved back to Philadelphia to be near my aging parents and their siblings and look after them. I resumed softball umpiring for schools in the Philadelphia area, and visit my children and granddaughters in Connecticut as often as I can.

My Mission

I struggled for years trying to find methods that worked to create an income from home using the Internet. I found a lot of junk, lies, and things that don't work anymore. I wanted to find things that do work and pass them on to others, so they could succeed too.

I believe individuals are the key to creating wealth and prosperity, not governments, investment institutions, and giant corporations. Big systems become corrupt because, due to their size, greedy unethical scoundrels can hide within their fabric. I wanted to join with like-minded individuals who have the entrepreneurial spirit the world needs to function.

Late in 2007, I found Michael Dlouhy and Mentoring For Free. In his book, "Success In Ten Steps", I found confirmation of truths I have always known. I could have written the book myself! In Mentoring For Free I found a complete soup-to-nuts system to develop all the skills and education an individual needs to succeed in creating an income from home, honestly and ethically. I didn't have to re-invent the wheel. What a relief! The wheel was already spinning smoothly and helping thousands succeed, as long as they were coach-able and willing to duplicate a proven system.

I am thrilled to be able to add my strengths and talents to this amazing group of volunteers, to help individuals and thereby strengthen the network marketing industry and worldwide economy. My home page is www.MentorKen.com.
