When retirement comes calling in 2026, the plan is to start up Ken Corum Voice, LLC, a live event announcing and voiceover business. Phase I was to convert my family room basement into my future office space. The flooring went in this week, and I’m pretty excited!

RIP Gene Hackman…his passing takes me back to the two times I visited the gym in Indiana where the movie “Hoosiers” was filmed…one time I announced a game when Staley played, and the other time I had the place to myself and shot some free throws. #CoachNormanDale
