Ken Miller: From Ivy League to Prison and Back Again

Ken Miller, CFRE is a dynamic trainer, speaker, author and consultant. As the president of Denali FSP LLC Consultants, he leads transformative strategies, empowering organizations and associations across sectors.

Ken shares his journey through trials, growth, self discovery, and finding hope in adversity.

Ken talks about his new book, Becoming Ken.

“Becoming Ken” is a brutally honest memoir chronicling Ken Miller's journey from a promising Ivy League student to a crack-addicted homeless man—and ultimately to a thriving nonprofit leader and inspirational speaker. It is a story of trauma, descent, redemption, and the power of grace and truth to rebuild a shattered life.

Core Messages:

• Truth Heals: Radical honesty—about your past, your pain, and your responsibility—is the doorway to transformation.

• No One Is Beyond Redemption: Even in the darkest moments, change is possible. There’s always a way back.

• Self-Forgiveness is Key: Healing begins when you stop running from your past and start forgiving yourself.

• Service as Salvation: Helping others is a powerful way to heal your own wounds and find meaning in your scars.

• Belonging is a Lifelong Quest: True belonging starts within—by owning your story and choosing love over fear.
