Episode 55 features Mr. Ken Subak, who at one time had a career with the FBI and now works as the Six District Compact Work Study Coordinator at Tallmadge High school.

His story is fascinating. About 12 years ago I found out Ken had worked for the FBI and we struck up a conversation about his many experiences working in Washington D.C. I then invited Ken in to speak to my Psychology students about criminals, FBI cases, and the role of psychology in that field. Every semester after he would present the students and I would walk away amazed at the stories he told, and the cases he had been involved in. He has been a part of history.

Equally fascinating is his passion project that he shares with his wife. The two of them are extensively involved in advocating for the deaf/blind community. He and his wife began a non profit and have been diligently working towards creating more access and opportunity for this community.
