Subsequently, in 1988, he became one of the founders of Micon International Limited, a mining consulting firm headquartered in Toronto. His consulting assignments took him to the far reaches of the world. Ken was a member of many professional associations and highly regarded in his field. He was a registered Professional Engineer and a Fellow in the Society of Economic Geologists. Ken married the love of his life, Susan, in 1980 and was married for 37 years until her passing in 2017.
