Ken joined Bear Stearns Companies in New York City as a fixed income analyst, before joining Hess Energy Trading Company in NYC as a weather derivatives analyst. Ken moved to Houston in the late nineties, joining Enron’s energy derivatives trading and marketing desk where he structued and traded weather derivatives.

Ken sold his ownership interest in Mobius in 2004 and briefly retired to spend time with his young children.

In 2005, Ken moved to Las Vegas to begin a career in gaming as Corporate Director of Finance for Harrah’s Entertainment. After two years in Vegas, Ken was transferred to Indiana for one year to serve as CFO of Caesar’s Indiana, before rejoining the corporate office as Vice President of Benefits and Compensation. Having enjoyed his time as an operational leader in Indiana, Ken accepted an opportunity in 2008 to join Station Casinos as Green Valley Ranch’s Assistant General Manager. Ken held this same position at Sunset Station before deciding to leave the casino industry altogether in late 2010 to join the Boys & Girls Clubs of Henderson as their Chief Executive Officer. After initiating and completing the merger of the Henderson and Las Vegas Boys & Girls Clubs to create the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada, Ken retired in 2015 to spend more time on his entrepreneurial interests.
