Ken Boden
TDM Outreach Manager
A Boulder native, Ken attended the University of Colorado, where he worked at the Henderson Museum with the curator of anthropology. Prior to graduating he attended the University of Colorado’s field school at Yellow Jacket, Colorado. He spent the next six years as an itinerant archaeological field worker investigating archaeological cultures as diverse as Paleo Indian, Anasazi, Hohokam, Mogollon, modern Dine, and historic Anglo homesteaders.
Ken received his MA in Anthropology from the University of Arizona after several field seasons in Southeast Turkey, where he traveled over much of the Middle East and Caucasus.
He helped create an English Language School in Istanbul, then returned to Colorado where he worked for seven years as a real estate broker at Walnut Realty. Never truly adjusting to the boom and bust financial reality of real estate, he found fun and engaging work with the Way to Go program at the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG).
Ken and his wife Auxi travel yearly back to Ecuador to spend time with family, experience first-hand the remarkable public transportation facilities of Guayaquil and Quito, and explore the cultural history of this verdant Andean gem.
