BRING AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY TO LIFE TODAY

My name is Kenneth W Stone Jr. I grew up in Kansas City, Mo. and studied music at the Conservatory of Music at UMKC. After College my dream was always to be a professional musician, and after college I toured and recorded

with several bands throughout the country.

I later started in a career in financial sales and marketing, and now work at UMB Bank as a Community Mortgage Banker, where my job is to help UMB establish relationships with community organizations that focus on the needs of banking clients in low- and moderate-income areas in Kansas City. Also, to help develop mortgage loan programs that help families achieve safe and affordable home ownership. I am a lifelong Kansas City Royals' and Kansas City Chiefs' fan and I enjoy cheering for my Kansas Jayhawks during basketball season (rock chalk!)
