In 2007, Kenny decided to leave behind his career in construction management to pursue his passion for concert lighting. He worked his way up through the festival circuit where he eventually met the Hoffman brothers, owners of Pulse Lighting.  In the summer of 2012, Kenny took on the LD position for the Colbie Caillat tour, solidifying himself as an asset to Pulse touring clients. Later in 2012, Kenny became the Lighting Director for the California reggae band Rebelution, coming into his own as a designer. He has toured with Wolfgang Gartner, The Green, Sublime with Rome, Rome and Duddy, and KT Tunstall demonstrating his ability to adapt to new genres for lighting.  Since 2016, Kenny has worked as an Operator and Programmer on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he programs the effect lighting for musical guests and operates the lighting for the entire show.  Proving his ability to handle high pressure situations in a live television setting Kenny now works as programmer and operator for the NCAA Final Four Tournament.
