Most recently, Ken was publisher for the Episcopal Church publishing company, Church Publishing Incorporated, including the Seabury, Morehouse, Living the Good News, and Church Publishing imprints. He has also worked as an editor and publisher in the university press world and was a partner in a web-publishing firm, Pubcomm, in the late 1990s. He is also a member of the board of Friends of Ooligan Press at Portland State University and Vice President of the Publishers Association of the West. In 1979 Ken was a fellow at the Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Confernce, where he developed She Also Dances, a play that premiered at South Coast Repertory Theatre, in Costa Mesa, California, in 1983. It was cited in Best Plays of 1983. Other plays include: The House of Bedlam, Wanting Marie, Rapture, and Enlightenment (a play about the priest and monk Thomas Merton still looking for a producer). He has published poems in numerous national magazines. His two previous books are On the Way: Vocation, Awareness, and Fly Fishing, and Night Fishing in Galilee: The Journey Toward Spiritual Wisdom. These books are not about fishing or how to fish, although Ken is a fly fisher when he can get away to a stream.
