Early in his life, Ken didn’t have positive influences and had a negative life.  As he grew up, he feels like there were lots missing in his life. Influenced by Tom Cruise’s movie and seeking for discipline, at 12-years-old he got into a full-time military boarding school where he learned discipline and leadership. Did well academically and graduated as valedictorian of his class. It gives him confidence, it instills a sense of pride and confidence. Later on, he served the country as a US Navy. 

Other than that, Ken always loved numbers and so he decided to become an entrepreneur and open up a restaurant. But he always thought about the real-estate industry while operating his restaurant. So when opportunity and chance came, he grabbed it & got into the commercial real-estate business. He tried hard and did researching properties and learning everything. He believed he can figure things out. He surrounded himself with the right mentor, right people, tirelessly did repetition and repetition in building his skills over and over until he became that person that earns that paycheck and more consistent paychecks. Ken continues working and working and putting deals in front of other people. His commission goes higher and higher.  

In addition, he found a book that got him into the journey of self-discovery, continuously creating more relationships and building the right mindset.  Despite how busy in his entrepreneurial career, Ken still makes time for his family, and himself. His family is his top priority and communication is key to get that support from them. Above all, Ken gives value to the memories they’ve shared in their family especially his children and so he created the ‘Legacy of Love’. It’s a legacy that captures memories that might otherwise fade away with time.
