Ken is happiest when he is spending time with his family. He has been married for 28 years and has five children. He also enjoys spending time with his dog and taking motorcycle rides with the club he is part of.
He finds happiness by being an active member of Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous. He is thoroughly involved in helping people recover and knows first hand how leaving a life of addictions can turn a person’s life around: “I am a recovering addict. I am very active in recovery with Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous. I have been through treatment myself and I understand the struggle. My life has become amazingly different now that I’m clean and I feel it is my responsibility to help alcoholics and addicts recover and have a chance at a better life like I was given.” Ken also loves to volunteer at Rescue Mission, specifically for the events related to AA and NA.
The passion Ken has for helping others makes him a great asset to Asana Recovery. He works as a Support Specialist, providing one-on-one care to clients in the form of medical and health observation, assisting and providing information about medication, and coordinating external appointments and services.
Ken has a unique background and has always excelled at school. He is proud to say that was a straight-A student and on the Dean’s Honor Roll. He attended CAL State Fullerton, where he studied computer programming and data processing. He also attended Los Angeles Trade Tech College and Los Angeles Community College for film and television.
His training in tech and film, and certification in Panavision and RED Cameras, lead him to be involved in television and short films. He has produced documentaries and a show for cable television. He also has experience in photography and spends a lot of time working with Property Management Companies.
If there is any free time left in Ken’s busy schedule, he spends it as an artist and musician.
Ken’s perspective of addiction and recovery is part of what makes him an essential team member at Asana. He said: “There are a lot of tragedies that come along with the world of addiction, but it is the success stories that make it all worthwhile. I truly feel that every person deserves to have joy and peace in their life.”
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
