Ken Naig
Director of Plant Operations
Since 1993, Ken has served as a member of the maintenance staff and was previously the assistant director. He is currently the director of plant operations, which includes maintenance, housekeeping, and grounds. Ken’s vast knowledge of why things break and how to fix them is a result of his diverse work history: his experiences in a drug store, asphalt plant, commercial and home construction, woodworking shop, pure-bred hog farm, casket factory, cabinet shop, and here at Cottonwood all help him keep things running.
Ken was born and raised in Iowa. He lived all over the Midwest before heading south to Tucson with his family in 1993. He and his wife have three adult children and four grandchildren, as well as a few dogs to keep them busy.
