Ken has been doing triathlons since entering a short event in Bellingham, WA in 1992.

Since then, through progressive, consistent training and study Ken has improved his performance. The highlights of his competitive career include:

• Five times Ironman Canada finisher - 1994 through 2002
• Ironman Wisconsin finisher- 2004
