About Ken Bhan
Kenneth Mark Bhan was born in Washington, DC, the son of engineer Chander Bhan and writer, Esme Evelyn Bhan. His father is Punjabi, while his mother is a New Delhi native. Both are born and raised in India and immigrated to America in the 1970s, and despite having only eight dollars each, they achieved their version of the American dream, owning multiple cars, houses and sending all their children to college. Today they celebrate over fifty-one years of marriage and live in a prestigious waterfront community. Chander Bhan has been recognized in "Who's Who in the World" as well as "Who's Who in the East" and "Men of Achievement" for his engineering achievements in energy usage and procurement, particularly with IBM & Honeywell. His mother, Esme, was selected to be a fellow at Harvard University and is a published writer and archivist. It's safe to say, there's no one like their son, Kenny. His interesting talents are coupled with an exceptional I.Q. which is last measured at 150. Interestingly, Kenny managed to "hook school" his first two weeks of kindergarten, by simply not telling his parents he should be in kindergarten. His immigrant parent's finally figured out he should be in school, and Kenny went to kindergarten two weeks late, and the teacher made him teach the class on his first day, because he was the only student that followed the instructions to the exercise correctly. Kenny went on to be the "teacher's pet" until the fourth grade at which point, his male friends, staged an intervention, explaining being the teacher's pet isn't cool, causing Kenny to become a social misfit.His parents' wanted him to be an engineer due to his perfect math SAT scores, and his ability to fix just about anything mechanical or electronic. In the 1980s Chander drove a new BMW seven series while his old five series BMW sat neglected and did not run due to a myriad of issues. The local dealer estimate for replacing the transmission gear selector was over five hundred dollars, and the list went on. Although Chander planned on delivering the old car to a junkyard, he told Kenny, "If you fix it, you can have it." Kenny fixed the transmission gear selector on his father's old BMW 530i when he was fifteen years old, and it's how he got his first car. Ken began tinkering with cars before he had his actual driver's license and fixed the broken BMW for only $13.61, with a few washers and bushings from the local BMW dealership.Kenny would begin to study mathematics and quantum physics at the United States Naval Academy, in a special program, for three consecutive years, while attending High School. Kenny began viewing car control as a mathematical equation, and developed a unique ability to "skid" or "drift" a car, perfectly, around any corner or racetrack by age eighteen. He was inspired by the 80's TV Show "Knight Rider" with a self-driving car, K.I.T.T. which could "drift" perfectly. Now going by Ken, he graduated high school and the United States Naval Academy was making preparations for Ken to enlist, and become a midshipman. As fate would have it, the Naval Academy reported Ken failed his physical examination solely because he wears glasses, and would not be allowed to enlist. While his parents were disappointed, Ken was rather stoked and followed his passion and became an acting major at Howard University and later received a scholarship to further train, in acting, at Oxford University at Balliol College with the British American Drama Academy (BADA)...
