Welcome to Ken Iverson's Stories

I am a storyteller who loves word play in stories and who performs original tales, folktales, tall tales, and myths filled with humor and wisdom for audiences of all ages.

In the photo to the right is my beloved wife, Caroline. She grows things, especially plants, nurtures animals, especially our three Nigerian Dwarf Goats, and our dog Schatzie. She also helps storytellers grow, ever a perceptive and careful listener to stories and willing to offer feedback when it is desired. She is my rock!

About Ken Iverson

Join me for themed storytelling shows that celebrate holidays and share meaningful messages through engaging folktales, fairytales, and myths.

I have had the incredible good fortune to live on various islands in my life and the experiences there have influenced every part of my life.

I entered the service (U.S. Air Force) when I was 17, mostly to escape a stepfather I didn't get along with. Being in the service at 17 was a shock but also a blessing in disguise. I wouldn't know until later how important my decision to enter the USAF was.

While in the service I was stationed primarily at Vandenberg AFB, then for a few months at a time I was at Hickham AFB, Hawaii, and then spent most of a year on Johnston Atoll. Later, as a civilian, I worked for Global Associates and was in the Marshall Islands for 18 months (Kwajalein and Meck Islands).

I have always loved the ocean and being surrounded by it on a very small island like Johnston Atoll was wonderful although Johnston Atoll itself left a great deal to be desired at the time.

There was no such vegetation on J.A. while I was stationed there. I loved the outdoor movie theater!
