About Ken

A North Carolina native, I have lived in the Asheville area for almost 30 years. While attending N. C. State University in the 1970’s I became familiar with the Asheville area on rock climbing and backing trips in many of our mountain’s scenic areas. My love of mountains took me west to graduate school at the University of Utah, where skiing and river running were favorite pursuits. My same love of mountains and the outdoors took me to the Pacific Northwest where sailing and skiing interests complemented a career in education at the University of Puget Sound. Eventually the beauty and culture of the Blue Ridge Mountains called me home and I returned to Asheville in 1989. My real estate skills are a convergence of expertise from careers in advertising, art, and higher education. My advertising career included sales and advertising production, so I understand the power that words and images have in successfully marketing my client’s properties. I have spent a significant amount of time in the area art community. My wife and I were founders of Ariel Gallery, a cooperative art gallery in the Asheville area. Not only as a founder of a gallery but also as the President of the Asheville Downtown Gallery Association I learned the importance of thoughtful negotiation. Finally, I have numerous years in higher education, both as an administrator and as a faculty member. As an instructor I learned to be a good listener and was insistent that my student’s not be complacent but be passionate in their pursuit of their goals. Understanding marketing, thoughtful negotiation, active listening and passion… real estate for me is a fusion of these. My wife and I love travel and the outdoors and consider ourselves “culture junkies”. We love different places, ideas, foods, and ways of life. No wonder the Asheville area is where we call home!
