Meet Our Expert – Ken Kelewae

Ken Kelewae was introduced to State and Federal Communications via the Akron Beacon Journal. At that time, David Giffels authored an article about Ken’s background in computers and how much he did at the companies where he worked. However, Ken was older and he found it difficult to find a fit.

Enter State and Federal Communications. The day after the article appeared Ren Koozer looked him up and brought him in for an interview. It was a win/win on both sides, and he has been here for 17 years.

We can count on Ken to fix, update, repair, and install software in the office along with having the only green thumb on staff. He is the one guy who will do anything, including standing on windowsills to straighten the window blinds. (We suggest he not do that anymore.)

Ken is one of those “always learning” people and is still taking courses on Microsoft Security and anything network related—devices, troubleshooting, and administration.

In 2026, Ken is going to retire effective March 31st. We are not filling this position as we have developed a staff of folks who can help with our IT issues. We look forward to the grand retirement party we will hold in his honor on March 12th. He is the company’s first retiree, and we will commemorate his tenure with a plaque in our office.
