Ken Norian's Home Page

Hi, my name is Ken E Norian. I live on Long Island, NY where I was born and raised.

Professionally, I work in Technical Account Management for Thomson Reuters in New York City . I have a BBA and an MBA from Adelphi University.

Personally, I have three boys between 18 and 20 years old, plus two stepchildren for a total of five kids between 17 and 20 - a wife and a dog.

I've done a lot of interesting things - people are usually most curious about the 20 years that I worked in radio as a newscaster, engineer, disc jockey, and account executive. I closed my radio career as General Manager of WBAU in Garden City, NY. While I've worked in nearly every aspect of radio, my passion has been acoustic and acoustically influenced music. Now I am busy focusing on my technology related hobbies, family and my full time work at Reuters.

There is a significant spiritual dimension in my life. I am a member of the Third Order of the Society of Saint Francis a religious order in the Episcopal/Anglican church for people living and working in secular society, where I serve as Minister Provincial for the Americas.

Some folks who come upon the norian.org domain are looking to find some history regarding the Norian family. I am afraid I can not offer too much. My grandfather immigrated from Armenia in the early 1900s. When the family arrived, the name was spelled Noroian, and within a few years was changed to Norian. He was from the village of Perri, which was ruled by the Ottoman Turks. So, if you are a Norian or Noroian who has relatives from Perri in Armenia, we’re probably cousins. I know of some other Norians who do not seem to be related but... who knows!
