When he was a teenager, he moved to his aunt and uncles to help them farm. Ken graduated from Glenwood High School in 1959 and was drafted into the U.S. Army. He served from May 23, 1963 and was honorably discharged on May 11, 1965.  Ken moved back to his uncle’s farm until his marriage to Grace Lyon on May 22, 1971.  The couple moved to Sauk Centre and Ken started working at Ostendorf Construction.
