Over the last few years Ken has worked to launch two technology apps for campaigns and elections, the most recent being Video Squirrel (VS), formerly known as Zipline Live. VS was built for e-commerce, but through his efforts it’s now ready to roll out for political campaign and non-profit fundraising, and influencer advocacy.
Previously, Ken was recruited by Donald J. Trump for President Campaign to run field operations for Florida. As Director he developed and helped implement the statewide field plan, and in March of 2016 the campaign won 66 of 67 counties.
Ken has held multiple leadership roles in both state and national projects ranging from National Director of Coalitions for the Convention of States Project and Project Coordinator for the Coalition for a Prosperous America. He was recruited by COS to set up their coalition effort while working with 34 state coalition directors, handling volunteer related issues in state field operations and mentoring the regional grassroots directors.
Previous to COS the Coalition for a Prosperous America (a national trade organization made up of domestic manufacturers, farmers and labor groups) recruited Ken to organize and coordinate grassroots organizations across the country in an effort to defeat the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement. Approximately 100 organizations and approximately 1,000 people signed on to the effort. Three leaders were chosen to join in CPA lobbying efforts in DC.
Ken has also worked as Florida’s State Director and Director of Field Operations for two national organizations: American Majority and Americans for Prosperity). With 18 offices throughout Florida, Ken directed the activities of 17 full- time field coordinators and hundreds of volunteers that resulted in numerous bus rallies, speaking engagements by nationally known speakers and over 19 million phone calls and 100,000 homes being touched through neighborhood canvassing.
Ken served in the US Navy from 1970 to 1974 as a Communications Specialist before obtaining his undergraduate degree in Biblical and Theological Studies. He holds a Master’s degree in Law and was certified in 1985 by the National Republican Congressional Campaign Academy, an intense full-time three-month training program sponsored by the NRCC.
Ken presently serves as Vice-President of Operations for The America Project.
