KENNETH PAGE, a man with a purpose to develop others. Kenneth was born and raised in Columbia, SC where he proved early on to be an outstanding athlete. With accolades such as Nike All-American and ranked as the #5 OG in the nation, he began his collegiate football career at Clemson University in 2008.

Through a series of bad decisions, he was dismissed from that team and transferred to Coastal Carolina University where he later graduated with a degree in Financial Management. But not before being dismissed from that team as well.

Kenneth is now a Credit Officer in the Small Business Department at TD Bank; offensive and defensive line coach at the 2020 class 1A state champions, Southside Christian School; youth minister at Changing Your Mind Ministries; author of Success Under Construction: A Guide for Maturing People; mentor at Miracle Hill Homeless Shelter; math tutor; public speaker, and founder of Adulting 101 Org, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit entity committed to teaching young people necessary life skills that aren’t taught in schools.

Through overcoming the residual effects of growing up in a broken home at the cause of drug addiction, and repairing the consequences of many bad choices made early in life, Kenneth has come to believe two things without question: Every day can be better than the last & Everyone has a purpose.

Although Kenneth has no kids of his own, he has accepted his role as a father figure for young people in the community. He may coach high school students now, but he began his coaching career with kids as young as 4 years old.

Despite the many things Kenneth is involved in, they all fall under the same umbrella of serving the purpose of developing others. Even in his career at TD Bank, he sits on the board of employee development groups such as Minorities in Leadership, co-leads and writes articles for a Diversity & Inclusion Newsletter team, and teaches employee development classes.

While Kenneth will attest that he never knows exactly where he Is going in life, he does know one thing; he Is going.
