Ken rode for G & S, Vision, and Planet Earth in the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1992, he took a crack at his own skateboard company with One More. Ken did have the insight to sponsor Jason Carney and Brian Tucci for the brief shelf life of the brand. It looks like he is working for a digital media company called Oktane these days. Ken was a vert shredder known for his invert variations and big airs. He usually skated with Chris Miller, Tony Hawk, Joe Johnson, Ray Underhill, and the rest of the San Diego/Fallbrook vert crew.

It's kind of tough to find information on Ken because the bulk of the search results lead you to that stupid movie by Larry Clark and Harmony Korine.

Anybody know what band does the first song?
Is that even the music that was in the video the first time around? I just now realized Vision put out a video.
Ken Park Also Rode for T&C before Vision
I would have sworn that at one point in the brief life of One More, Matt Hensley was a pro for them. It was a black and white full page ad, with loads of text explaining the whole two boards for the price of one gimmick, and Hensley if doing ... something on flat.
Matt rode for Ken's clothing company Phat Klown. It was a split page ad for both companies.
Was there ever an interview with Ken? I assume there had to have been at some point, but I don't have it. I don't know much about him and the internet is being useless.
