He has toured the world on two wheels, met with presidents and royalty, partied with movie and music legends, and appeared numerous times on network news. As the former director of communications for Harley-Davidson Motor Company, he played an active role in one of the most celebrated turnarounds in corporate history – and got paid to ride motorcy- cles. At the NWPCA ALC, Ken will share his expertise with many of America's leading brands, but happily states that he is "semi-retired," which allows him to pursue his other passions. His phi- losophy of life and business hasn't changed: "Never do what's expected, make yourself as noticeably different as possible, and have a lot more fun than you're supposed to."
