DavidPFranceTV INTERVIEW #11
KENNY FIKES
Developer
Knoxville, Tennessee USA

For this 11th interview, David speaks with Kenny Fikes, a long-time colleague from their days as students at the University of Pennsylvania.

Prior to this exchange, David reconnected with Kenny as he began working as a political consultant for Massachusetts attorney and businessman John Kingston, a fellow Penn alum and colleague from the same era (mid-1980s).

Kenny talks about his upbringing, his early education in North Carolina and later, a private boarding school in Massachusetts. He describes the recruitment process as a student-athlete, the black student experience at Penn, his initial job prospects, the early part of his career in Philadelphia, and his journey as an entrepreneur until the present.

Kenny is a long-standing member of the Republican Party. He has a very unique experience and outlook which I believe is worth sharing.

I hope you enjoy!
