He trained at some of the most prestigious fight gyms in the country and sparred with nationally and internationally ranked boxers/MMA fighters.

He was a 3 Time Amateur Boxing Heavyweight Champion including 2007 Philadelphia Golden Gloves and recently placed in the 2021 NPC Ultimate Physique Championships Light Heavyweight divisions.

Kenny was a hardcore Kansas City Chiefs & Eagles fan & was ecstatic he got to see them both win the Super Bowl. He had a love of comics & movies which his daughter also quickly took to mostly the Marvel Universe. Kenny often rooted for the antagonist just because they were more interesting. His favorite was Thanos. He enjoyed reading many novels & books. Plus shared his love of video games with his daughter. The only thing bigger than his impressive physical stature was his heart.
