Mayor: A dedicated City Council member and community leader, is committed to fostering business growth and creating family-friendly events to build a vibrant, sustainable future for Colfax.
Ken was raised and educated in Pennsylvania, where he excelled academically, winning the Central Pennsylvania Science Fair while in high school. After completing his college education, Ken relocated to the Bay Area to pursue a career in the computer software industry.
Eventually, he moved to the Sierra Foothills, where he retired, got married, and welcomed a daughter into his life. His daughter’s involvement in local activities inspired Ken to become actively engaged in the community, serving as a coach for soccer and baseball, and participating on the school board.
In 2023, Ken began his third term on the City Council, recognizing that transforming good ideas into tangible results requires years of dedicated effort. He is passionate about attracting more business opportunities to the city, aiming to strengthen the revenue base and offset rising costs, which in turn will help prevent tax increases.
Ken is committed to collaborating with business owners, service organizations, and local government committees to establish a calendar of family-friendly events, concerts, and festivals. His vision is to create a vibrant and sustainable community in Colfax that will thrive for years to come.
