Service That Shaped A Leader
Ken's leadership philosophy was forged during his service in the United States Army.
From 1984 to 1987, he served as a Sergeant (E-5) and Acting Squad Leader with the elite 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Lewis, Washington. As a member of one of the world's most respected light infantry units, Ken developed the discipline, accountability, and mission-first mindset that continue to guide both his leadership style and his approach to solving complex challenges.
The lessons learned during his military service remain central to everything he builds today: prepare thoroughly, execute with precision, and never lose sight of the mission.
After his military service, Ken founded KRUTSCH, a Minneapolis-based, veteran-owned digital product design agency focused on transforming underperforming software into award-winning digital experiences.
Under his leadership, KRUTSCH has delivered more than 100 successful digital products while helping clients secure 18 patents through innovative product development. The agency has earned national recognition, including Webby and Davey Awards, for creating user experiences that combine technical excellence with exceptional usability.
Rather than simply designing websites or applications, Ken and his team specialize in solving complex business and technology challenges through UX-first design, scalable software development, and strategic digital transformation.
