Client Testimonials

Ken made the process fun and painless. He highlighted points of pride and made the most of our milestones. As we made new history over the years, Ken helped us update the book through an efficient process.

Todd BlountPresident, Blount Fine Foods

Ken Durr is a marvel. An amazing writer. Incredible recall. A true (PhD) historian. He “gets” organizational politics. And he is just as adept at the publishing side of the job as well.

Chris MahaffeyExecutive Director, American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons

We worked with Ken to prepare and publish the centerpiece of our Centennial Celebration. Throughout the entire process, he was thorough, professional, punctual and an absolute joy to work with.

Brian TurmailVice President, Public Affairs & Strategic Initiatives, Associated General Contractors of America

Ken is a consummate professional and has done an outstanding job over the years conducting a number of the Society’s oral histories and producing galleries for our virtual museum and archive.

Jane CobbExecutive Director, Securities and Exchange Commission Historical Society

MPR’s story was difficult to tell, it’s a niche company to say the least, and to put it into words that have meaning and don’t ramble is an art. Not everyone has that talent—but Ken delivered.
