Ken approaches his professional career with a simple mission: To better understand technology in all its forms and ensure that others do as well and its impact. His career started in 2003 working at one of Hawaii's largest interactive agencies, StarrTech Interactive (now Anthology Marketing Group) as a project and account manager. He would continue those roles at Stage Two, DraftFCB, and Kane & Finkel Healthcare Communications.

Alongside designers, developers, and third-party vendors, Ken has managed complex website builds, email marketing campaigns, online advertising programs, live and animated video productions, and app development projects. And he's also worked alongside those in account management to pitch ideas and solutions to clients, whether they're managers or executives.
