Meet Ken Pope

Hi, I’m Fielding Kenneth Pope 

But you can call me Ken 

I was born and raised in Glendale, California, USA 

and I’m currently in Yorba Linda, California, USA 

You’ll find me eating a pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives because it’s delicious! 

And you’ll see me drinking Crown Royal and ginger ale, it’s not too bitter and not too sweet, it’s just right 

A sports moment I’ll never forget is the 2006 playoff game between the Lakers and Suns. It was a father/daughter outing with my 8-year-old daughter Kaitlin (who had become quite a Lakers fan in her own right).  Kobe scores at the end of regulation to force overtime.  In overtime, Kobe scores a buzzer-beater to win the game and STAPLES Center exploded!  My daughter said I lifted her up over my head as the fans were screaming!  We will both never forget that night 

The sports venue you’ll have trouble getting me out of is That would have to be STAPLES Center.  It was our entertainment home for watching the Lakers play all throughout Kobe Bryant’s career 

I idolise no one in particular, but the person who I admired most throughout my adult life would be Bill Gates. His vision and tenacity to drive that vision forward, was always something that I admired 

On the weekend you’ll find me hanging out with my wife! We are absolute best friends; our favourite past time is going on long drives and searching for new restaurants in remote areas that we’ve never been to before  

I’m always happy to talk about technology! I’ve always been intrigued by cutting edge technologies. Both in the software and hardware space 

Something you may not know about me is My mother recently discovered, through much painstaking research, that my father’s side of the family is, in fact, direct bloodline descendants of George Washington, the 1st President of the United States!
