Bio

Ken was born in Michigan and spent most of his life there. We moved to Arizona in 2002 and in 2004 he was diagnosed with Melanoma. NED now and back in Michigan, Ken manages to live a full and normal life without melanoma “getting into his head” too much. Life is too short and anyone on this board knows that better than most, we do our best to try to live each day to it’s fullest. In the years since his original cancer and treatment he has continued to get all manner of skin cancer including squamous cell requiring reconstructive surgery on his face and in 2022 another primary (1a) melanoma.
