Hoop dreams.

Thanks Kentucky Chamber for hosting the Kentucky AI Summit! I was happy to join a panel of experts to talk about the impact of AI and how KCTCS will change workforce training and education in this evolving space! There is so much potential to train KY’s future workforce!

After cooking 52 pounds of meat overnight, it was brisket-o-clock for the win at our KCTCS System Office picnic today in Versailles! Thank you to all of our KCTCS teammates for a record year with an historic all time high number of graduates with 72% of them graduating DEBT-FREE!

Spent the day on the stairmaster! Speaking of building, stay tuned for a unique partnership in the works for those Kentuckians who work with their hands! ChatGPT still can’t build houses….

Sweet corn available TODAY! I’m around until 8pm and happy to pick ears for you for pick up. Just message me how much you want!

Thank you KY Afield legend and fellow outdoorsman Tim Farmer for stopping by to stock up on sweet corn today! Tim has hosted thousands of episodes of his cooking show and Kentucky Afield! I have thousands of ears left if you want to stop by this week!

Kentucky state government employs roughly 30,000 fellow Kentuckians, and we at KCTCS are proud to meet with KY Personnel Secretary Mary Elizabeth Bailey and her team to see how we can partner & support our public servants. Stay tuned!

Great to donate sweet corn to Great Crossings FFA today! Several members are already KCTCS students getting an early start with dual credit and another is going into our lineman program next year! Congrats and enjoy the corn for your Farm to Table dinner!

Thank you for exploring beyond our Earthly horizons, to never give up on your dreams in life, to adapt when circumstances change, and to know that life isn’t about what you accomplished (or almost did), but the legacy you leave is more about how you help others along the way. RIP

So proud of this guy, Braden Lacefield! Tonight I hosted a send off dinner for him as he starts Murray State University this fall! Congrats!

We’re the entry point for the vast majority of Kentuckians starting college, and so it’s very important for us to address mental health needs of our students. Check out what we are doing KCTCS. kentuckylantern.com/2025/08/11/ken…
