Ken was born on July,17th 1954 in Mahnomen MN to Ervin and Ella Harms. He grew up in Mahnomen with 8 siblings. After graduating high school in Mahnomen, Ken moved to Fargo, where he started working for Harmon Glass / Glass Doctor, where he worked for 45+ years before he retired in 2020. In 1985 he met the love of his life Carol Cochran. They were married in 1989 at Atonement Lutheran in Fargo, ND. In 1991 they welcomed there one and only son Nathan.
