At the age of 5 Ken began swimming. Since then he knew he was going to be in the water for the rest of his life. During his teen years he was a lifeguard and swim instructor. Throughout his time as an instructor he seemed to be paired up with the kids that needed some extra guidance, and he loved the process of teaching them. Over the years he found a new passion called the ocean. The ocean's amazing structures and sea life are what has kept him in Okinawa.

Ken has been part of the Swim Life family in Okinawa for over 3 years. In the summer of 2019 he joined our coaching team and he has not stopped coaching since! Currently he interacts with today’s youth at a DoDEA elementary school. Ken also enjoys teaching scuba diving and snorkeling. The water is his life!

Ken's certifications include:

• Swim Life Stroke Development Technician

• CPR/First Aid
