Ken has been a Jacksonville resident for 30 years and, like many people, settled here in our city after service with the U.S. Navy. His career was cut short after 14 years due to a medical disability, and he has found the Florida climate much more agreeable than his native state of Michigan.

Ken has been employed by AT&T for 10 years as a Supervisor and is also a director and stockholder in our parent company, Impact 77, LLC. An avid sportsman, he can be found cruising on his boat with his wife, Lauri, if they are not cheering on the Jaguars or Gators. Both Ken and Lauri have beautiful voices and are members of their church choir. The McEacherns are blessed with a daughter and two grandchildren. Mr. McEachern’s organizational skills will be highly valued on the7 Steps To Life Board of Advisors.
