Ken Austin has a dream to help youth in White Center. He runs Beverly Hills Auto Detail on Delridge Way. It's a fledgling business tucked into a tiny spot in White Center but he's managed to make a positive impression with area businesses including Malo's Auto Rebuild and others with a reputation for doing high quality work. Ken volunteers as a coach at the Red Shield Community Center as a youth basketball coach and works with young people frequently helping teams and other organizations with fund raisers. Ken's dream is to train kids to detail and repair cars. He's looking for a space to create a car care apprenticeship program, teaching at risk and low income kids a marketable trade. Ken is from a family of 11 children and has a strong wish to help kids achieve their own dreams.
