Ken’s career spans multiple full-service agencies, with substantial experience in strategic planning, brand development, media, and integrated marketing.

Ken is deeply invested in the Springfield community and beyond. He and his wife, Kim, are parents to two teens and two adult children, and their home is always bustling with family life — including three cats, chickens, and ongoing remodeling projects. Outside of work, Ken is active with the Rotary Club of Springfield Southeast and supports community causes, including efforts to help raise awareness and resources for families with members that have Down Syndrome. Through ADsmith’s drive to give back to the community, Ken has supported many additional non-profits over the years.
