Presently, Kenn works at an advertising agency as an Art Director, overseeing design and execution of websites and applications. Even though his background is layered in the arts, Kenn has always been a writer.
He states, “Even if I’m simply illustrating a cat, there is a story in my head about that cat – how he moves, why his tail is so bushy, whether he sleeps on a windowsill or under a bed, and so on. Words aren’t the only means to tell a story. I like to think of myself as a modern day griot. A griot is a member of a certain social distinction in western Africa whose primary function is to keep an oral history of the tribe or the village. This person would use song, dance, poems, or whatever to do so. Parallel to that, I use pictures, words, code, or whatever tools necessary to articulate my own narrative.”
Kenn currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his two sons. You can follow his random bits almost daily at his blog and he is already at work, writing his next exciting tale. PIOUS is his first novel.
