CT Leadership

Kenneth Starkes
President/Chief Executive Officer

Born and raised in Prince George’s County, Maryland in the “DMV” (DC, MD, VA) area, Kenneth Starkes is the youngest of a family of four to James H. Starkes of Virginia and Louise C. Starkes of Quebec City. Starkes wooed his wife, Doreen, in 2002 and continues to enamor her. He is a man of God who enjoys spending time with his family. Starkes often shares how he made some decisions that did not lead to the best outcomes and how he spent time stuck in detrimental situations due to those decisions. However, throughout his life Starkes began to grow, learn and understand who he was including his “why.” His belief is that by acknowledging the concerns (the challenges that hold someone back), creating a plan for change, implementing the plan and setting benchmarks to ensure progress, anyone can chase their dreams and their “why”.
