Having developed a passion for snow and ice management, over the last
quarter century Ken dedicated a great deal time to learning best practices
such as equipment and material knowledge; contract language; snow
removal and deicing operational tactics; and crew, material, and slip & fall
risk management.
Ken is a one stop shop for anything and everything relative to the snow and ice management industry. He has
provided consulting and in-field services for international facilities management corporations as well as local
property owners / managers, and has personally managed snow removal services throughout the country.
Ken has attained both the Advanced Snow Manager (ASM) and Certified Snow Professional (CSP) designations
from the Snow and Ice Management Association (SIMA). The ASM program has four courses and focuses on
in-field best practices, science and chemical knowledge. The CSP is a highly sought after credential that is only
awarded to an individual after they meet experience requirements and pass a written test proctored by SIMA.
There are very few CSPs relative to the amount of snow removal contractors in North America. Although
SIMA has thousands of members, less than 250 have attained the CSP Designation. CSP testing covers fields
such as snow and ice science, operations, techniques and subcontracting.
