He received his B.S. in Science Education and his M.S. in Computer Science from Monmouth University. He also has Teaching Certificates in Comprehensive Science and Computer Science. \nCarl began the effort to save Camp Evans by transforming it into a Science Education Center in March of 1993 when its closing under the U.S. Army’s 1993 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) was announced. An article in the Asbury Park Press carried the headline “Evans Likely to Fade in Oblivion”. With the backing of Wall Township he did research into the creation of science centers using the resources of the Association of Science and Technology Centers. He presented a plan to the Town which was included in the Marconi Park Reuse plan in 1995. \nOver the years he has visited over 25 centers to see their operation first hand. Reaching out to organizations with technology education and historic preservation programs he built a consortium dedicated to preserving Camp Evans as a Science Center. In 1998 the group incorporated as a not-for-profit named the Information Age Learning Center trading as the InfoAge Science History Center. \nAs the Wall Township historian Carl researched into the history of Camp Evans using existing works and materials found in the National Archives\, Fort Monmouth\, Stanford University\, Princeton University and the Smithsonian Institution. He nominated and successfully defended an application to create a 37 acre Camp Evans Historic District and have it added the National Register of Historic Places. Once on the Register a complex application to the Historic Surplus Property Program was prepared. One approved by the National Park Service it paved the way for the transfer of the historic district to Wall Township for the preservation of the site and the creation of the InfoAge Science History Center. \n\n\n\nIn 2006 Carl was honored with the Russel Berrie Award for “Making a Difference” and\, due to his efforts\, Wall was given the distinction of being named New Jersey’s first “Preserve America Community” by Mrs. Laura Bush. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND THIS EVENT” color=”warning” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FVHESZx5wEKdF1W7X8|title:REGISTER%20HERE%20TO%20ATTEND%20THIS%20EVENT|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The goals and\naspirations stated in the first inaugural address were a mission statement and\npromise to the American people that his term would be about restoring the Union ina way that would benefit ALL Americans. \nThe program will open the door as to how Grant campaigned for the\npresidency and how as chief executive he met and closed with the established\npoliticians\, who underestimated Grant for his political acumen. Life for Grant and his family was changed forever\, and there are stories to tell from all sides of his time as President. There was much to be proud of that resulted from his leadership in the Executive Mansion\, and he knew there was still much to be done\, not just for the south\, but for the recently enfranchised “Freedmen”\, as well as the Natives of our land. \nYou will have an opportunity to discuss in person with the 18 th president how he perceived the challenges not just for him\, but for the nation as a whole in the first election following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.\nWhen guests come to understand the uphill battle Grant willingly accepted\,\nthey will also begin to see how great his accomplishments were given the nature of an outsider holding the reigns and doing the will of the people and not becoming a professional politician. \n  \nABOUT THE ACTOR \n  \nGunnery Sgt Kenneth J. Serfass (USMC Retired) is a native of Bethlehem\, PA born on June 18th\, 1966.  A US Marine since 1984\, his last unit was the First Marine Division Band during Operation Iraqi Freedom\, retiring in July of 2004 to become a music teacher.   \nKen is a former civil war “reenactor” but now a first-person impressionist with fifty years studying his childhood hero\, US Grant.  As a full-time professional living historian portraying Grant\, he presents between 11 and up to 23 appearances each month between February and November.  Ken began appearing as General Grant in 2009 while living in San Diego CA\, and since returning to the east coast\, he is engaged on horseback tours\, rail road excursions\, presenting school programs\, living history and roundtable events\, speaking at public libraries on a regular basis\, and annually in Southern California at Huntington Beach’s Civil War Days over Labor Day weekend.  \nHis repertoire includes programs on Grant’s battle campaigns\, his interactions with Lincoln\, Sherman\, and Lee\, and most importantly\, the Grant family\, and the two terms as the 18th US President.  This led to being cast as President Grant for a documentary featured on Fox Nation\, debuting October 10\, 2021. \nIt is with a profound honor that he tells the story of one of America’s greatest military leaders and Ken takes it very seriously to reaffirm Grant’s place of honor among the most respected people of our nation’s history.   \n [/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND THIS EVENT” color=”chino” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FVfP1o3FAT3M1sDK76|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
