Ken has worked in the Youth Work field since 1992, drumming since age 12 and Mentoring on drums with Tamwel Arts since 2020. 
 
Across his career, Ken has supported young people in a wide range of settings, including schools, community centres, and alternative education programs. His work spans both structured and informal environments, with a strong focus on engaging young people who are at risk of disengaging from mainstream education. Many of the students Ken has worked with present with diverse learning and social needs, including ADHD and autism.
 
Ken brings extensive experience in delivering group programs, skills development, and confidence-building initiatives. His background includes involvement in Adventure-Based programs, the Peer Leadership Program (Kids Helpline), DrumBeat, and The Hero in You (Tailored to Connect), all of which inform his practical, strengths-based approach.

At Tamwel Arts, Ken is valued for his calm, inclusive, and non-judgemental teaching style. He is highly skilled at recognising each student’s strengths and adapting his approach to support different learning styles, helping young people build confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging through music.
