Before founding his company in 1986, Ken Futch was in sales and management with AT&T, where he was recognized for being the top revenue producer in a group of 6,000 salespeople. Ken's success led to his selection as a top trainer at AT&T's prestigious National Sales School.

Ken Futch has faced some very difficult situations in life. He has had a mule step on his head, has been attacked by a crazed hog, had his nose flattened by a fisherman’s boat paddle while water-skiing, and accidentally shot himself in the head with his own gun. The best part is, all this is true.

A past president of the Georgia Speakers Association and a former Toastmasters International humor champion, Ken Futch delivers more than 100 high-impact programs annually. He has now trained over 100,000 people in seminars presented throughout North America and Europe.
