Ken Craig grew up in Southern California and Hawaii, then served a mission for the Church in Lisbon, Portugal. He attended BYU, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Advertising – but his favorite thing about college was being part of The Garrens, BYU’s first ever sketch comedy and improvisation troupe. This is also where he met his wife Katie, and now, 25 years later, they still perform together at Comedy Sportz, in Provo.
After graduating from BYU, Ken and his family moved to Las Vegas, where they lived for 14 years, before moving back to Utah. They have eight children – 5 girls and 3 boys, and have already acquired a son-in-law.
Ken spent most of his career in advertising, but for the last four years he has worked in the Philanthropies department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You might recognize Ken as the bishop from the movie Once I Was a Beehive and the upcoming Once I Was Engaged, or occasionally in a commercial or Church training video – you know, if you are super into training videos. Additionally, Ken has written his first book – Faith, Fatherhood & Food – available on Amazon!
