KEN PERRY

Speaker | Podcast Host | President & Founder @ Knowledge Coop

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 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!"
