Ken and I sit down to discuss his background, the journey through software development from the early '80s until now, how his company Rolemodel helps small to mid-sized businesses gain leverage through completed software projects, software and the pandemic, and much more!

He founded RoleModel Software in 1997 and has operated as the CEO ever since. RoleModel Software’s founder was introduced as "the father of software craftsmanship" at the inaugural Software Craftsmanship North America conference in 2009. Since ‘97, Ken has continued to pursue innovation and has driven RoleModel to provide sustainable tailored software solutions for over 100 companies.
