From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is Kenneth Ballard. I am currently a Software Engineer with the Epiq Corporation in Kansas City, Kansas. Previously I worked for the Cerner Corporation of North Kansas City, Missouri, at a location in the southern part of Kansas City, Missouri. I also have my own web site (see links below) where I showcase software I've written. I also have my own business that I am trying to get off the ground in which I hope to actively sell software I write. I have also been published by IBM developerWorks several times.
