Ken Ford brings dedication, perspective, and a genuine sense of care to every client relationship. Long before becoming a trusted financial advisor, Ken learned the value of preparation, discipline, and focus — lessons that continue to shape how he helps families make thoughtful financial decisions today.

For over 30 years, Ken has guided clients through the complexities of wealth management with a steady hand and a strategic mindset. He began his career on Wall Street, gaining experience at some of the industry’s most established firms before embracing the independence that allows him to serve clients on his own terms. Through his partnership with Private Advisor Group, Ken focuses on what truly matters — helping clients feel confident in their plans and make meaningful progress toward their goals.

Ken holds the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) and Accredited Wealth Management Advisor® (AWMA®) designations from The College for Financial Planning, reflecting advanced expertise in fiduciary responsibility and the needs of affluent families.

Outside the office, Ken channels his energy into the things he loves — playing competitive golf, snowboarding, and staying active with his family. He also remains closely involved with his alma mater, Hartwick College, where he serves on the Athletic Hall of Fame Committee, celebrating student-athletes who share his passion for growth and performance.

Ken lives in Warwick, New York, with his wife, Femi, and their two children, Ellie and Leo. Clients who work with Ken appreciate his thoughtful approach, detailed planning, and the unwavering commitment he brings to helping them build and protect their financial futures.
