I'm retired now, and I work part-time designing websites (I pick and choose). I began building websites in 2003. I've helped hundreds of insurance agents be successful on the web. I built over 700 websites, setup more than 200 Facebook pages, and authored hundreds of search engine optimized insurance articles. I've also created over 100 insurance marketing videos. It's been a blast. Thanks to all of my customers, many of whom became friends. Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way. You can find me now on Facebook, X, and LinkedIn.

Where have I been?

All of my customers wondered what happened to me in September of 2019.

I’m ready to talk about that now.

I was admitted to the hospital for depression. It was so severe, that I refer to it as a breakdown. After five days inpatient, I admitted myself to a seven week stay in a residential mental health facility. Each day was packed with group and individual meetings, as well as a ton of homework.

It saved my life.

Of course there's a huge backstory to what precipitated this. Just know that it was not work, not my customers, and not my family. I wish in some ways it were that simple.

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It had been untreated my entire life. Medications were changed, and I've never felt better. I also see a therapist once a week, and a psychiatrist monthly.

I had never been hospitalized for mental health prior to 2019. I was a first born, type A entrepreneur my entire life. My pride and my religion kept me from getting the help I needed. It almost cost me my life at 61 years old.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for my daughter, Amanda Runia, CPA, for taking over my business in my crisis. In-House Ally (her consulting business) has truly been an ally to all of us.

Now Amanda’s professional plate has become full.

It’s time for me to help her 40 or so remaining customers (previously mine) to move to a different platform.

I’m excited to reconnect with long lost friends as I help them find the best, safest, and most affordable solutions moving forward.

A final note:

Don't assume that everyone you know is “doing fine.” Take the risk of having uncomfortable conversations. I was backed into a corner and basically forced inpatient. If your friend or family member “hates” you for the intervention, they'll get over it. Trust me.

 

You may save a life.

"I approached Ken with a complex task, and in need of more than just web design. I needed knowledge. Ken took on my project with amazing skill. The finished website reflects exactly what I was looking for... it's like he read my mind through every step!"

Tim Morales

Client Review

"Ken took 'above and beyond' to the next step! We had so many questions about what our website should be like, and we never wore him out with our questions. We highly recommend Ken for any consulting or design work you might have. He's super patient and talented."
