About Me

I’m originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. Cincinnati is famous for the Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Bengals (football), and Cincinnati Chili (spaghetti). Every time I go back to my hometown I eat Cincinnati Chili. It’s probably my favorite food in the world (my second favorite is pizza). I lived in Japan for 4 years. I loved Japan very much and got to know my students very well. Sometimes we met for drinks or dinner and always had a great time. I remember going to karaoke and drinking sho-chu. By the way, sho-chu is my favorite Japanese cocktail (I like kiwi-sours the best). Before living in Japan I lived in Hollywood, California for 10 years and worked in television production. Now I’m back in Hollywood and close to my friends and family. I live about 10 miles from the beach so I often hangout there with friends and walk in the sand or go window shopping on 3rd street. I sometimes ride a bike on a 3 mile bike path alongside the ocean. It’s warm and sunny and there are lots of beautiful people in bathing suits. It’s like living inside of the television shows “Bay Watch,” or “90210” or “Melrose Place.” My parents and I recently took a road trip from Ohio to California. We had a great time and saw a lot of the country. It took 5 days to drive across America, but it was very educational and wonderful. Please ask me anything. I love talking about America but I still have a lot to learn myself.Ken Interests: Apple computer. Yes I have 3 iPods. I can’t explain why. Favorite TV Shows: Little Britain, American Dad, The Daily Show. Favorite Quotations: “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.” — John F. Kennedy Education: University of Cincinnati ’93, Electronic Media
