Let’s get to know Ken a little better…
TALBAR: What’s for breakfast?

TALBAR: Who would you invite on a dream ride? (3 people max)

TALBAR: Most memorable ride?

TALBAR: Life quote?
KW: Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
TALBAR: What are you reading?
