About Kenny

I pride myself on getting to know and respond to the client in a very personal and personable way. The quality of the relationship is paramount - everything flows from that. Being a musician, I'm trained to be sensitive, disciplined, and deeply analytical - skills that come in so very handy when working with someone in this way. It is such a simple yet profound joy to serve someone in this way, to brighten their days, to help them live a more full, fun, and grateful life.

Allen Sherman
Hired by his family to look after him as his psychiatric disabilities had led him into a lifestyle of drug use and abuse. They took his affairs out of his hands and left it to me. I helped him essentially hit the 'reset' button and help him life another six and a half years of life until he succumbed to kidney disease in March of 2017.
