Kenn is the project coordinator for the Memory Alpha Project, a group of Star Trek fans that are working together to collect data from all sources of Star Trek (canon, licensed, and fandom alike) and present the data in numerous ways to the community. Kenn began the project back in 1993 when the first Star Trek Encyclopedia was released, he transcribed the book into his computer and began to digitize images from the movies and shows based on taped video sources (poor quality). In 2000 he learned of the LCARS Terminal software and its Forum community and found an audience for the data he collected and several team members to help the project really take off and grow. He has merged files from various similar projects like the Daystrom Technical Institute Library, Ubergeeky Starship List, Advanced Starship Design Bureau, Star Trek Novel Encyclopedia Group, Star Trek Comic Encyclopedia Group and other teams into the Memory Alpha collection to try to make a complete reference of information. Kenn resides in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area.
