Many of Kenneth’s former students are currently TV news and sports anchors, reporters, producers, and videographer/editors. And far too many to count have used his instruction and guidance to carve out professional careers in media and other areas. Selected as a Teacher of The Year, Kenneth has been a news and documentary reporter/producer for over 30 years. He has won regional, national and international awards, including a CINE Eagle and a Silver Addy Award. As a filmmaker, his docudrama, Rosewood, aired nationally on PBS stations, and was instrumental in Florida’s legislative action for Rosewood victims. His films have been distributed on HBO, Bravo and other regional and national media outlets. His feature film, Love & Fate, was an Encore/Starz movie. His screenplay, Alpha & Omega, a medical drama set in the 1950’s is an American story of hatred, hope, intrigue, and love. His current feature film, My Music, involves the miracle of music that is tragic and transforming for a girl, Ruth, who is the caregiver for her aunt who’s suffering from Alzheimer’s.
