About

We are Ken, Tom, and Katie Marie – a family that cooks.

Ken

Ken is  a semi-retired technology education teacher living in Wisconsin.  Ken cooks a variety of gourmet meals for his wife, Peggy.  His children noticed a significant increase in the quality of his cooking which occurred immediately after they moved out.  Coincidence?

When Ken isn’t cooking or teaching, he’s working on building guitars and furniture.

Ken is also known as Dad and Grandpa in OurFamily.

Tom

Tom is an art educator, photography teacher, and free-lance photographer living in Illinois.  He’s a meat and ‘taters cook for his family including wife Wendy and daughters Allyssa and Haley.

When Tom isn’t cooking he is experimenting with photography and graphic design, helping his kids with schoolwork, and enjoying time with his family.

Tom is also known as Son and Brother in OurFamily.
