Ken believes that successful development comes from forging partnerships with prospective funders to pursue shared visions and goals.
Most recently, Ken was Development Director at the Cultural Data Project. Before that, he was Director of Corporate, Foundation, and Government Relations at Swarthmore College for nine years. Previously, he led the endowment campaign for The Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington, VT.

Ken expanded his horizons by spending three years in Alaska hiking, kayaking, and working for cultural non-profits: KNBA radio, “Alaska’s Native Voice”; Out North Contemporary Art House; and ARCS, the Alaska Rural Communications Service.
