His commitment to teamwork and excellence was evident in his approach to collaboration, where he consistently contributed valuable insights and solutions. Ken’s organizational skills were a cornerstone of our project’s success, ensuring we remained on track and efficient. What set Ken apart was not just his professional capabilities but his reliability and integrity. You could always count on him to follow through and handle responsibilities with great care. Moreover, Ken’s humor brought a sense of lightness and positivity to our team, enhancing our work environment and making challenging tasks more enjoyable. Ken is a trustworthy and organized professional, with a commendable ability to blend seriousness with a touch of humor, making him an invaluable asset to any team." and "Ken and I worked together at REI for many years. He was one of the initial members and advocates for the process improvement community and one of the longest participating and promoting members. He is also the only manager I saw at REI who was able to successfully apply the idea of leading his team through intentionally developing their own daily management system that empowered the team to take on daily improvement challenges in an organized way that the team grew to own and enjoy. Seeing his team in action was a joy to watch and learn from. His successful approach led to his promotion where he was able to mentor other managers in how to lead their teams through the same process. Ken's passion for learning, leading others through learning, and improving the business was evident in all he did. He is always looking at the environment and asking how he might make it a little better, or how he might work with others to make it better. This passion resulted in a smother running loss prevention operation with improved service to the entire company. I would love the opportunity to work with Ken again on just about any kind of operational task or challenge because his unique talent is not limited to an operational body of knowledge, but shows up in how he approaches his work, how he works with others, and his ability to learn."
