Kens 1st answer on his background in Mikes interview with him in Dec. 2006 covered a lot about him and I'll paste below.
" I came from the school of hard knocks, taking a break halfway through my junior year of college and joining Hagopian via a recommendation from a friend. I have been here ever since, almost 27 years. I grew up in a family of
accounting
minded people, financial officers and CPA’s so numbers and logic always came easily to me. Being a Gemini, I have the blessing or curse of duality, so I also like people, being creative and teaching. I was planning on being a psychologist, but life took a turn and here I am. My experience, knowledge (whatever that is) and growth has been literally from making many mistakes, and from a number of wonderful mentors, some of which do not even know they mentored me, like Jim Pemberton, Mark Violand, and many others in Michigan and elsewhere from out of the industry"
He may not have become a psychologist in the doctorate sense but his creative interests of people and animals thought us a lot.
Everyone should go back and read that interview and it should be a must read for all newcomers to the industry.
Seamus Heaney the Nobel laureate was buried in Derry, Ireland on Monday and it was said of him ""a man who could speak to the King of Sweden, an Oxford Don and a neighbour from south Derry with the directness of a common and shared humanity". I think we could attach that line to Ken Snow also.
