    A Strong History of Community Service

    Ken has been actively serving the Allen Community since 1987.  He is a former member of Allen City Council where he also served as Mayor Pro-Tem for 4 years.  He also has served on the Planning and Zoning Commission and Allen Economic Development Corporation.  During his time of service to our city, he helped helped initiate the first lighting pollution control ordinance, tree preservation ordinance and flood plain preservation guidelines.

    Ken has served in several roles for the Allen Independent School District including on a Project Kids Bond Planning Committee, as the Fine Arts Subcommittee Chair, Allen Band Boosters Association, the District Finance Strategic Planning Committee and a PTA member for 5 different schools over 14 years.

     In addition to his service to the City of Allen and AISD, Ken has also served as a member of the Allen-Fairview Chamber of Commerce, was a charter member of the Rotary Club of Allen Sunrise, and has served in many leadership roles at First United Methodist Church of Allen.  He has also participated with Boy Scouts of America for over 30 years as a Scoutmaster and currently services on the Executive Board for Circle Ten Council.  

    It has always been Ken’s goal to make Allen the best City it can be. As such, he has always supported quality development that benefits the citizens of Allen as much as it benefits the developer, to include making developments sustainable in design and to generate more tax revenue than the cost of services required to support development. 

    “The good news is that our City is not broken. Certainly we have issues that need to be addressed and we can do that through being intentional and working hard to resolve them – together. I am a listener, problem solver, and consensus builder. I bring significant experience, leadership, hard work, and integrity to the table and hope that will result in a steady hand at the helm, aimed at keeping Allen on a focused positive path forward. As your future Mayor I will do everything in my ability to make Allen the best it can be by being deliberate in making decisions on the Council while balancing the needs and concerns of all Allen residents.”

     Through all his years of service in Allen, Ken has developed a great understanding and appreciation for the challenges facing our city.  And Ken is eager to meet and talk with Allen residents and to hear their concerns for the future of our great city.
