Kenny was born in New York City and graduated from Great Neck South Senior High School. He attended Bates College in Maine with a degree in Education in 1965. His love for travel, and the Spanish language, took him to study abroad at the University of Madrid in 1966.
After moving to South Florida, where he was a resident of Hollywood for over 45 years, Kenny began working for the Miami-Dade County School Board. He was a proud educator at North Miami Beach Senior High School teaching Spanish where he retired in 2003.
Kenny was enthusiastic about electronics and technology. Introduced to electronic toys when his kids were young, his exploration morphed into repairing everyday household items. This was followed by a passion for gaming becoming an avid player on Nintendo and Xbox consoles.
