Ken Thompson

I spent most of my working career as a Petroleum Engineer, working along the Gulf Coast in Texas and Louisiana, and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. I have also worked as a financial representative and stock broker.
I have been a Rotarian since 2000, having served as Club President in 2008-2009. I was chairman of the Slidell Heritage Festival for three years, a joint venture between the Rotary Clubs of Slidell and Slidell Northshore. I have participated in about ten Matching Grants and Global Grants, and traveled twice to Mexico to immunize children against polio. My current Rotary duties are District 6840 International Service Director, District Newsletter Editor, and District Website Manager (www.rotary6840.org). I am also a ShelterBox Ambassador for the Louisiana and Mississippi areas. ShelterBox is a Rotary Project Partner.
I enjoy photography, travel, theater, choral singing, and writing.
