Ken is one of six castaways remaining in Season 33 of Survivor. He has played a quiet game for the most part, but declining to make big waves has kept the target off his back.
The 33-year-old model and former massage therapist from Denver, CO, is one of three Gen Xers left in the game with Bret LaBelle and David Wright. The remaining millennials are Adam Klein, Hannah Shapiro and Justin "Jay" Starrett.
Ken is a true outdoorsman who gets along well with most people, although it takes the idealist a while to determine if a person is genuine and worthy of his trust. Want to learn more about him?
