In July of 1973, Kenny boarded a bus from Queens, NY to Camp Delaware in Winsted, CT, now Greenwood Trails, where Camp Happy Place takes place. He says that it was the beginning of 10 life-changing summers and a lifetime of friendships.

By day, Kenny is a technology project manager for a large financial firm. He and his wife live in New Jersey and have 3 amazing children, 1 perfect grandson and an Australian Shepherd named Ollie. Outside of work, Kenny can be found searching for new music and planning his next concert trip, hiking in the woods with his wife and pup and sometimes grudgingly going to the gym. The summer camp experience stays with you forever, and I’m so excited to work with the Camp Happy Place team and kids!
