Ken was born in Boston to two South Boston parents. His dad Paul died of cancer in 1966 at the age of 34 when Ken was eleven months old. Ken grew up on the mean streets of Brockton with a brother and two half sisters.  Taking courses in Russian and focusing on martial arts, he had planned to go into the military upon graduating high school but as that time neared, the Cold War was winding down and the war on drugs escalated. He attended Massasoit Communiy College and Northeastern University as a criminal justice major. 

Ken married in 1996 and was widowed with three small boys in 2002 when his wife was killed in a car accident. He now has 5 children, including a daughter born in September of 2008. 

He works today as a private detective  when not on the air driving liberals crazy. His sense of humor, commitment to his show and awareness of his well known, strong Democratic family ties makes for an in depth but fun look at today's world.

Ken's radio schedule can be found on WBSM's web site and also on NewBedford360.com - Greater New Bedford's community events calendar.
