Since joining WOOD TV8, his reports have brought about change and won multiple honors, including Michigan Emmys. His stories prompted Michigan prisons to collect inmate DNA, which helped police solve decades-old murder cases; they also caused Kent County to send the closest emergency medical assistance—even across jurisdictional boundaries—to cardiac arrest calls; and they caused a federally funded battery plant to repay the government for more than $2 million.

His accomplishments also include locating a serial killer who had eluded the FBI and clearing an innocent man; exposing the poor quality of work by housing inspectors; exposing the fact that courtroom interpreters provided inaccurate interpretations, which resulted in changes to state law; exposing police that were “shaking down” black teens without any evidence of drug dealing; exposing significant flaws in Kent County’s 911 dispatch system; and tracking trains that carried hazardous chemicals on unsafe rails through communities ill-prepared for disasters.

Ken’s newspaper work has garnered over thirty state and national writing and reporting awards, including the University of Michigan Political Reporting Award, the American Bar Association Silver Gavel, the Michigan Bar Association Advancement of Justice, and the top national prize from Investigative Reporters & Editors.
