Kenny was born June 20, 1952, in Jefferson City, Missouri, to the late Kenneth L. Green Sr. and Peggy Woods Green. He was a 1970 graduate of Morgan County RII High School in Versailles, Missouri. On June 20, 1972 (his birthday) he was drafted into the Army and trained as a fixed station radio repairman in the Signal Corp. Kenny came to Frederick courtesy of the Army to complete his service at the U.S. Army Communications Command (ECTC). Here, he met Magaly Mauras, who was attending Hood College. He was honorably discharged on June 19, 1974. He attended the University of Missouri-Columbia (1974-76) and graduated from Hood College in 1981 with a degree in management and administration. While attending Hood, he worked at Zenotec and Hood College. Kenny started his Federal career in 1979 as Equipment Specialist at U.S. Army Medical Material Agency (USAMMA). He was a recognized expert in the field of information technology. From 1991 until his retirement in June 2019, he served as the IT Specialist for the Treasury Department’s Office of Fiscal Projections (OFP). This office forecasts the daily cashflows and changes in debt for the federal government and manages the government’s daily cash and debt positions, among other things. Kenny oversaw the development of OFP’s first electronic forecasting system and later versions ensuring that the critical functions of this office were supported by state-of-the-art technology and security, and that the systems were efficient and met the needs of OFP personnel. He also ensured that federal information system standards and requirements were satisfied, leading OFP efforts with the Federal Reserve system and third parties to conduct testing and security assessments. Besides his technical expertise, Ken was also known for his understanding, friendliness, and cultivating important professional relationships. Kenny contributed significantly to the information technology management and critical mission of OFP for nearly three decades. He is listed in the International Who’s Who of Information Technology (2000). He received the National Defense Service and Good Conduct Medals, as well as numerous other awards for his military and federal service. Kenny was an avid reader, coached his sons’ sports activities, and enjoyed watching programs about classic cars and restoration.
