6 people have recommended Kenneth

"I marched with Kenny in the Madison Scouts in 2003, and we both aged out that year. He has had a special

longevity within the Madison Scouts organization as a performer (Madison Junior Scouts, Capital Sound,

Madison Scouts), an administrator, and as an active alumnus. I know Kenny to be a very affable,

hard-working person who always keeps the success and well-being of the organization, and each individual

member, at the "vanguard" of the Madison Scouts' organization. He is the embodiment of "esprit de corps,"

and will be a valuable benefit to any organization."

Robert Hall, Student, Saint Louis University, worked with Kenneth at Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle

Corps

"I had the pleasure to watch Kenneth grow up. Starting as a very young, very likeable boy to a fully mature,

competent man. Kenneth has always tackled challenges head on. He works well with others, is well organized

and follows through on projects. Kenneth has a great sense of humor and always brings out the best in the

people around him."

Keith Gee, Director, Madison Drum Corps Association, was with another company when working with

Kenneth at Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps

"Kenneth was a confident, effective leader. He maintained control over a group of about 150 young men and

gave clear, decisive direction at every turn. The motto of the Madison Scouts is "You'll never walk alone."

Kenneth ensured that none of the 150 young men under his direction ever walked alone. Kenneth was

approachable and friendly, and very easy to work with. His guidance and leadership greatly contributed to my

experience with the Madison Scouts."

TJ Kelly, Student, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, worked indirectly for Kenneth at Madison

Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps

"Kenneth was an intern within our organization. He was committed, focused and personable. He always

strived to do what was expected plus more."

Andy Davis, was Kenneth's client

"Kenny is an excellent partner to have in regards to group projects; he is an effective leader, who delegates

responsibilities well. He always shows up with a bright, optimistic attitude, ready and willing to participate."

Garnet Voecks, Corporate HR Payroll Intern, Bemis Company, Inc., studied with Kenneth at University
