Meet the Team
Ken
The Man-in-Charge - 1988-2023
Whose legacy will forever live on in Ken's Custom Iron.
Ken’s Custom Iron was Ken’s dream after his time working at the railroad. He was fascinated by everything he learned in his first few years working at Burlington Northern and knew there was so much more he wanted to learn. Since then, his blacksmith shop became where he spent much of his time, including his free time. His thoughtful creativity and passion for blacksmithing will forever be missed.

We would make a list of everything MaryLou does around Ken’s Custom Iron, but that list is extremely long and ever-changing. Let’s just say she does it all: from being Ken’s striker at the anvil, to the official Power Hammer painter, to the “shipping department” of our online orders, to taking care of the bookwork, and much, MUCH more. She certainly isn’t afraid of a little hard work and enjoys working side-by-side with Ken every day. In what little free time she has, MaryLou likes to work in her garden, ride her horses, and make delicious desserts.
Brandon
The Do-It-All-Guy - Since 2022
An avid fisherman, Brandon comes to the KCI team with a passion for hard work, a git-er-done attitude, and always a smile on his face. He has years of experience in metal fabrication and welding. In his free time, when he's not on the lake, Brandon can be found on the golf course or working on his truck.
