Ken Rigel comes from true pioneer stock and was born and raised on a small farm in southern Alberta, where he learned the value of honest hard work.
Teamwork also makes the difference between triumph and turmoil on the farm; and in real estate.
After a successful career in radio Ken realized he could make a bigger difference in people’s lives by helping them with their real estate needs, in that salt-of-the-earth way he was taught to serve.
Family, music, and Rocky-Mountain-living are his deepest loves.
