For over 30 years in the chemicals and biofuels industries, Ken has trained and mentored scientists, engineers, and business people. Throughout his career Ken has been particularly good at helping people understand basic principles in chemistry, physics and math and how they are and can be applied to everyday life. Teaching and communications skills were critical in reporting research results, selling products and technology to customers, presenting investment ideas to management and investors and motivating colleagues.

Ken has lectured at leading universities and helped mentor high school and university students in the physical science, maths and business. He is now tutoring Westchester and Connecticut students in math, chemistry and physics. Typically Ken explains the core principle or subject clearly, often with an example. He then lets the students talk to gauge their initial understanding before working through specific problems.

Ken earned his B.S. from the University of Cincinnati and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley, both in chemical engineering.
