After university he entered the workplace as a trainee journalist for the Leader newspaper, having qualified at Yale College, Wrexham. He went on to become Chief Reporter for the Leader and carried out freelance work for The Express and for BBC Wales in Wrexham.

He has a keen interest in manufacturing, sport and leisure, eliminating poverty, political economy and mental health. In his free time Ken enjoys running, swimming, golf, gardening, curling, hiking, art, cinema and architecture.
