I suppose that it's about time that I got around to introducing myself here. My wife Eva and I live in Minnesota and have three kids that we could not be prouder of - twin daughters that are both in their second year of college (at different schools in different states) and a son who is a Junior in High School. We have been on four cruises, but now that the nest is getting a bit emptier that will probably start to change in a big way.

By day I'm an executive with a large computer storage company that is gracious enough to let me live in Minnesota but report into Massachusetts. Since I have global responsibility I travel a great deal, and have been to every continent except for Antarctica. Come to think of it, I was in every continent except for Antarctica in just this past year alone. As a result, Eva now wants to cruise to Antarctica. :)

In my spare time I play on USTA tennis teams and having put my rock performance days long behind me, I've been part of the management of a major-label rock act. I've never been in any band that you would have heard of, but I've opened shows for many bands that you would indeed have heard of. (Old rockers never die - they go into management :) ). A little over a year ago I actually thought about getting back into music when I auditioned to become the new keyboardist/lead vocalist for Iron Butterfly (yes, THAT Iron Butterfly, and yes - they're still around) but they decided to talk their previous keyboard player into coming back instead. So even though I didn't get the gig, I can say that I've played keys and sang lead to "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (and about half of their setlist)with Iron Butterfly, which alone was well worth the experience. But I digress...

After two knee surgeries for old sports injuries in the last 8 years my doctors won't let me play basketball or soccer anymore, although the brain would still love to do so despite the body not being at all up to it. I don't endorse aging and what it does to your body. ;) These days Eva and I really enjoy scuba diving, some occasional golf, skiing, and mostly travel.

Cheers,
Ken
