Ken, the owner and operator of Sentry Event Services, earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of South Carolina.  He has worked in security and crowd management operations since 1989 in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor venues, focusing largely on musical and athletic events.  Primarily, he manages and directs events at Tropicana Field and Raymond James Stadium, as well as many other venues throughout the state.

Twelve years of spring training and six years of regular season Major League Baseball, as well as participation in the 1996 Summer Olympic Games Baseball Operations have equipped Ken to identify specific concerns with regard to major athletic facilities.  His more recent experience with the NFL has broadened this knowledge, as have Ken's other forays into sports event management, including both past and ongoing experience with the NCAA in basketball and football, the NHL, NBA, and the Arena Football League.  Most notably, he has provided security and event staffing for the NCAA Final Four, the Arena Bowl, and NHL Fantasy.

Concerts and festivals form another major part of Ken's repertoire.  He has staffed and assisted in event operations for countless shows, including, Metallica, Ozzfest, the Rolling Stones, Guns ‘n Roses, Kid Rock, and Bruce Springsteen, as well as several annual events such as Livestock, the Warped Tour, Gasparilla, the Last Damn Show, Sarasota Blues Festival, and many others.

In 2001-2002 Ken  managed Salt Lake City's Olympic Village Communication Center, serving as a liaison for Secret Service, FBI, Department of Defense, and Utah police.  He has also worked closely with Secret Service, FBI, U.S. Customs, and FDLE on numerous occasions when high-profile guests such as President George Bush, President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, and Governor Jeb Bush have visited the area.  This experience has greatly increased his understanding of threat assessment in the age of terrorism.

Ken's philosophy of structured, quality growth along with his extensive knowledge and experience enables Sentry Event Services, Inc. to provide unparalleled event service in Central Florida. Originally from Washington D.C., Ken has made the Tampa Bay community his home for nearly two decades.  His continued commitment to the Bay area is exemplified by his donation of services to Lowry Park Zoo and St. Petersburg Aquarium, sponsorship of law enforcement softball teams, numerous donations to local and regional non-profit groups, and strong working relationship with area law enforcement.
