MEET KEN
Laughing through life
Ken Perry was born and raised in Concord, CA surrounded by a supportive family and amazing group of friends. In 1995, he married the girl of his dreams and headed off to finish college in Denver, CO with a BA in Speech Communication. It was in college that Ken found his fascination with research, and his passion for speaking through the debate team. He competed and coached at the highest level and fell madly in love with learning. In 1997, Ken created his first website for a mass communication class. The site would allow people to post things they wanted to sell. Then, others would connect with those people to buy things from them. Ken shut that down after getting his “A” and has regretted killing what would have been “Ken’s List” ever since

Ken Perry has spoken at several of our annual conferences. We normally don't have speakers return year after year, but he is consistently top rated and requested by attendees. His compassion and enthusiasm are contagious. We love Ken not only for his expertise in compliance, NMLS continuing education, and all the other things offered at the Knowledge Coop, but also because he can delve into cutting edge topics potentially impacting our industry in a way that is engaging and thought provoking. I wholeheartedly recommend Ken Perry as a speaker.

"Ken is a great guy that we see often since his office is 1/2 a block from Java House. He always tells us how much he likes and enjoys our coffee, then proceeds to spill or conveniently tip over his cup. I can't tell if he's just trying to get his free refill before he has to leave of just likes to watch us clean up in order to learn the latest in mopping technology. Either way, we are always happy to see him and his staff!"

"I was reading a historical account of Alexander the Great and his unprecedented accomplishments in conquering the known world with a small band of loyal soldiers. I can happily say that as soon as I saw Ken Perry speak I threw the book in the trash without hesitation."
