2011 Hall of Fame: Ken Kaufman - From Publisher to Printer

Journalism Journey

Kaufman was born and raised in and around the Washington, DC, area, experiencing what he termed a "very normal" childhood. He graduated with a business degree from Miami (OH) University, then enrolled at Northwestern, where he earned a masters degree in journalism.

Since Washington, DC, was and still is the political capital of the universe, Kaufman served a six-month stretch in the U.S. Army before embarking on a career as a writer.
