KEN MOORE

Board Chair

Ken is one of those incredible human beings who, although he has a very full day job (pursuing the practice of law and advising community banks), still has the ability to dedicate countless hours of service to SLOCA by volunteering as the Board President, a member of the Finance Team, a level-headed interpreter of legal gobbledygook for the law illiterate, and even as a coach for flag football (which he declares to be his favorite role of all). His desire from the beginning of the Moore’s time at SLOCA has been to contribute alongside his wife in their kids’ education, and we are so grateful! Ken grew up in Santa Barbara and, although he’s always been a curious guy, he gives the credit for his love of learning to his mother, who forced him every summer - from the time he could read - to participate in the local library's book challenge on number of books read. He doesn’t recall ever having won the competition, but this activity made him a reader of books for life. This early exposure to rigorous study would certainly serve him well as he went on to Cal Poly for a BS in Business Admin with a concentration in finance, and then still further in his pursuit of a JD at Washington and Lee University. In 2010, Ken and his wife brought their children to SLOCA, knowing that the education here would provide them the context for, and deeper perspective on, this crazy thing called life! When he’s not expertly juggling all of the aforementioned roles at work and at the school, Ken will be found spending time with his family travelling, hiking / backpacking, at the beach, goofing off at the skate park, or just hanging out. In the next year, he hopes to learn how to play something slightly more complicated than Hot Cross Buns on the piano.
