Quote – What excites you about your career?

 “Earning the place of trusted advisor for people who own businesses puts us in a place to assist them in maximizing the potential of the business, their personal financial picture, and ultimately that of generations that come behind them. This not only benefits the business and its owners, but also all the employees who depend on that business to provide for their own families. Having a positive impact on so many different fronts is what really drives me.”

Ken’s career began as an auditor with Arthur Anderson in 1978. After being “borrowed” by their tax department for tax season, he became a tax and auditing person, and has remained so throughout his career. In 1981, he moved to High Point to join a firm in which his father was one of three partners, became a partner in that firm in 1984 and continued in that role until 2005, when Fulp and Associates merged with Sharrard McGee. Ken has a broad experience across many industries, with strong concentrations in automobile dealerships, manufacturers, construction and not-for-profit organizations. He is the Director in charge of SMC’s tax department and in charge of the High Point office.

Ken grew up in Thomasville, NC. He and his wife Martha have three adult children and six grandchildren (and counting). His hobbies include golf, fishing, hiking and most outdoor activities.
