Outside the Office

A true Kansas City native, Kenyon enjoys smoking barbecue at his house. He’s most proud of his briskets, and his friends frequently request his smoked buffalo wings.

Kenyon and his wife are season ticket holders for the Kansas City Chiefs. The tickets have been in his family for nearly 30 years, and he’s continually working to eventually host the perfect game-day tailgate.

In addition, Kenyon and his wife spend their time outside of work going to the gym, spending time with friends and family, and traveling.

Prior to law school, Kenyon played men’s volleyball at Graceland University.
