Kenny's ability to connect with students is unparalleled, and his genuine care for others is so clear even within moments of meeting him.

School presentations can be boring sometimes, but Kenny's talks are the least agonizing I have experienced. Lots of laughs, occasionally magic... and helpful analogies that I implement in my life.

SAS Puxi -- Class of 2021 Magna Cum Laude

Kenny has a special gift to communicate with teenagers in a way that a parent or a teacher cannot do. He has had a positive influence on our boys and serves as an additional role model that teens need other than their parent. Having Kenny in our life helped smooth over many teenage crises and brought a lot of peace to our family.

We've had the opportunity to see Kenny first-hand interacting, teaching and leading youth in our home and community. He truly has a unique and special gift in being able to so quickly and easily relate to and build bonds with youth and teens. As parents, we've been able to see and learn from him to better enable us to communicate and engage our boys in a more effective way.

Kenny has a contagious passion for positively shaping the lives of youths. Whether it be during group games or one-on-one mentoring, he has the incredible ability to connect, encourage and empathize. While speaking to large groups he is able to take deeper concepts and present them to youths in bite-sized ways that keep them engaged while also challenged and excited to learn more. It is a privilege to work alongside him.
