Ken was born July 10, 1954, in Pueblo, Colorado, to Presley Leon and Betty Mae Cook. Shortly after, the family moved to Canon City.

Ken was a member of the Canon City Rodeo Club, competing in all three rough stock events, including bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding for many years. He won several Championships and was known for being a good cowboy. Ken worked for many local ranchers in the Fremont County and surrounding areas in his early years.
