Tom is a member of the Ridgeline Wranglers which is a group of volunteers who help maintain and improve Stewart Trail at Ridgeline Open Space through Castle Rock’s POST (Partners parks, open space and trails) volunteer program. The group has approximately 60 members and six trained crew leaders. They work on de-rutting the trail, implement improvements, and eliminate berms, noxious weeds, clear scrub oak and other brush that may encroach on the trail or affect visibility. It’s hard work but a great way to give back to the community.
As an annual tradition, during the week of January 23rd – 29th, Ken participates in the fundraising drive for “Officials against Breast Cancer” through the Colorado Springs Basketball Officials Association (CSBOA).

As a certified CSBOA official, he donates game fees received for that week to the drive and challenging coaches/teachers to donate according to their needs as well. In 2011, the CSBOA organization raised more funds than any other High School basketball organization in the nation after coming in 2nd place for 2 years in a row to a Connecticut official’s organization.
