Ken Congemi was born in Huntington, New York where he began skating at the age of 9. During his amateur career, Ken worked with Peter Burrows and he passed his Gold figure and freestyle skating tests in 1980. He then accepted a scholarship to Boston University where he graduated with a degree in Finance and a minor in Psychology. It was in Boston, while attending Boston University, that Ken began his illustrious career as a figure skating coach.

In 41 years of coaching, Ken has taught numerous National and International champions and medalists, was the Director of Skating for the Walt Disney company and has done numerous seminars both in the US and abroad. He is Master-rated in Free Skating by the Professional Skaters Association (PSA) and is world renowned for both his exceptional jumping (and spinning) technique and motivational abilities. Ken prides himself most on being able to assist his skater's in the mental aspect of the sport. He believes that much of the work is done before the skater arrives at an event. Mental imagery, affirmations and meditation are just a few of the concepts he uses to strengthen the mind and enable the skater to remain focused when it's time to put the performance out in front of the judges.

Ken is a highly visible skating coach. On any given weekend, you might find him on tv at a skating event, either at rink side giving last minute instructions or in the "kiss and cry" dressed impeccably and filled with joy after his skater turns in an incredible performance.

Ken recently moved from Long Island, where he was the Program Director at the Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow, to West Palm Beach, Florida.
