Ken Kapp was a professor of Mathematics and did research at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Ph.D., 1967, University of Wisconsin-Madison). Following that, he "starved" as ceramicist and welder (local galleries). Since he needed to eat, he worked for IBM until being downsized in 2001. He now teaches yoga and writes. He lives with his wife and beagle in Shorewood, Wisconsin. He enjoys the many excellent chamber music concerts available in Milwaukee. He's a home brewer and runs whitewater rivers with his son in the summer.
