Kenneth has been working with computers and technology of all sorts since 1995, when he began repairing and building his own computer systems at age 13. He has designed many different types of software in his spare time, ranging from e-commerce websites to video games and massive point of sale databases.
Kenneth also designed music when he was younger and has developed several computer-generated techno songs.
After many years of software development as a hobbyist Kenneth began his college studies at Blackhawk Technical College in southern Wisconsin in 2009. He was awarded a Special Recognition Award from the college in April of 2011 “For tremendous dedication to his education and for support given to fellow students and the college”, for his efforts in maintaining a 4.0 GPA and consistently remaining on the President’s and Dean’s list while helping tutor and mentor other students at the college.
