In addition to starting Global Missions Consulting, Ken currently serves as the Missions Pastor for a large multi-site church in Virginia called LibertyLive.church. He has 25+ years of missions and church experience.

Ken holds a B.A. in Advertising (with a minor in Business) from Texas Tech University.

Ken started out in corporate work as a project manager senior for General Dynamics Corporation working on the F-16 project in Fort Worth, Texas.

He has a Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Ken and his wife Carmel served as missionaries in Russia from 1993 to 1994. (Carmel had an accident that brought them back to the States early for medical care.)

Ken has developed local mission networks to foster mission engagement between local churches.

He co-authored a booklet published by the International Mission Board (IMB) entitled “Holding the Rope”. The booklet served to help churches engage with and advocate for unreached people groups.

He has also written several articles for the IMB website (please check them out here and here).

Articles about the work at LibertyLive.church have also been written by others. You can see one example here.

One of the key areas in which Global Missions Consulting has worked has been within the world's North African and Middle Eastern (NAME) affinity. Serving on the IMB NAME affinity advocacy team has given Ken the opportunity to work with churches of all sizes to mobilize for missions.

Ken served as an IMB Trustee from 2013 -2021, chairing several committees over the 8-year period, and was a search committee member who brought Dr. Paul Chitwood to the IMB as president.

Cryptocurrency is another passion we have at Global Missions Consulting and we are constantly working with others to see ways we can use cryptocurrencies in mission work.

In addition to missions work, Ken is an avid sports, fitness, and outdoors enthusiast.
