Jennifer Zivic
"Ken is a great asset to any team. He works amazingly well with people and is a true
team player. I do not know anyone that did not enjoy his day to day disposition. Ken
always does what it takes to get the job done. He never left a project unfinished or not
done to the best of his ability regardless of what it took to get there. Reliable and
dependable are certainly among his top assets. And finally his talent, Ken was always
able to take the vision of what I had and make it into a reality that was stellar whether it
be an actual product or needs for a presentation to a Licensor or Buyer. He has many
blue sky ideas as well as the ability to follow a direction that meets consumer and
retailer needs. I believe he is a true Product Development leader and has the
potential to do even more great things when brought into a key role at any consumer
products company."

Elaine De La Mata (Marquart)
"Ken was an invaluable member of the research and design team at Tara Toy. As Art
Director at the time, I was always confident in relying on Ken for support in any
number of projects from the smallest to the largest. Ken dedicates himself to the
successful completion of projects, working well both as part of a group or heading
the team himself, while maintaining a level head and awareness of deadlines. Ken is
very conscientious of details, pricing, manufacturing and safety. Any company would
be enhanced by having Ken on their team."

Lee Nielsen
"It was a pleasure working with Ken. He was a very detail-oriented designer with a
very creative flair. In the fast-paced sales end of the business, I would often request
projects with very tight timelines. Ken always managed to prioritize his projects and
make it happen every time."

Brian Specht
"I worked with Ken for almost ten years and if I needed someone to figure out a
complicated design problem Ken was the first person I would go to. Ken knows how
to come up with a creative solution while always keeping in mind industry safety
standards as well as keeping manufacturing costs in mind. He is single-handedly
capable of taking a product from a creative concept to a production part."
