In the early 1980s, while in high school in Vancouver, Kenny unwittingly began his career when he volunteered to shave the heads of his rugby teammates for their championship game. Eighteen naked skulls later, the lure of shearing for shock had taken hold, and Kenny started down his path to success by refining his skill, learning style and technique and maintaining his heart big along the way.

After a year of strolling through New York's dirty boulevards and fashion temples, Kenny returned to Vancouver to work in a high-profile shop. Following this, he had a series of gigs at various shops doing styling and creative direction, and this led to numerous freelance photoshoots. He soon became a recognized name in the local fashion and advertising scene.

As his reputation grew, style and news publications began hiring him to work on fashion editorials, beauty stories, and to provide trend forecasts. He started teaching, holding seminars and doing platform work at trade shows, and showcasing technical and cutting techniques for such companies as Framesi, Joico, & Goldwell.

Looking for fresh ideas and adventure, he went on to Los Angeles and signed on with his first agency. Working primarily on photo shoots, he moved between Seattle, San Francisco, L.A, Hawaii, and Mexico, working on campaigns for companies like Macy's, Nordstrom's, Nike and Levis. Along the way he worked on such notable faces as Sandra Bernhardt, Drew Barrymore, Patricia Arquette, Carrie Anne Moss, Monica Belluci and Mia Kirshner.

Most recently, Kenny has been spreading his work between Vancouver and Toronto. Represented by Judy Inc., Kenny's clients include Holt Renfrew, Aveeno, Salon Selectives, Pantene, Motorola and Smirnoff. He has increasingly turned his attention toward applying his craft and experience as part of the creative direction for event clients such as Cirque de Soleil, the Toronto International Film Festival, J. Lo Lingerie, Elizabeth Arden, Northbound Leather, and M.A.C Fashion Cares.

Whether it’s designing, consulting, educating or producing, Kenny stands out as a focused professional. He has earned a reputation for being a creative and innovative force - a leading expert in bringing aesthetic visions to life.
