  Ken Goodman grew up a military brat, traveling the world courtesy of the US Air Force.  At a young age, he was already singing and story-telling for the family. After graduating high school in the Republic of the Philippines, Ken returned to his roots in Arkansas where he attended Henderson State University on a vocal performance scholarship, graduating with a degree in communications. For 20 years Ken served in various church capacities but later transitioned to professional entertainment receiving many accolades. Today, Ken can be found on stages in Arkansas and around the country in one of several capacities:  musical theatre, one-man shows, and master of ceremonies. Ken believes in The Entertainment Foundation because he has always loved and admired our senior adult population as well as the US Military. His father and sister are USAF (ret.) and his younger brother, a fighter pilot, currently commands the “fightin’est” Air Force Base in the nation.  Ken is absolutely honored to entertain those who most deserve it!
