My Bio

Ken joined STEM in the Fall of 2024 as a Behavior Intervention Specialist. He earned a BA in International Relations from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1991, a BS in Education – Secondary Social Studies from Kennesaw State University in 2000, and an MS in Psychology – Applied Behavior Analysis from Purdue Global University in 2023.

Ken completed his requirements for becoming a BCBA by working for an in-home provider, giving direct care to individuals ranging from ages 5 to 38. In 2023, he went to work at Spectra Centers (a facility school) until moving to STEM in July 2024. His stated goal for leaving teaching and becoming a BCBA is to help as many students find success as possible and, in the process, provide behavior modification techniques to help teachers with classroom management.
