Kenneth Wayne Jones, AKA Kenny, was one of the key figures in Netflix’s ‘Working: What We Do All Day.’ The documentary series follows people working in different jobs and trying to ensure their personal and professional lives are as fulfilling as possible. Though each individual has their own story, many elements bind them together in a cohesive manner that one cannot help but admire. Kenny’s story is no different as he explained his job in the show and shared what motivated him to be a part of his chosen field. If you are curious about his whereabouts, we have your back!
Who is Kenny Jones?
Born on February 3, 1966, Kenny became a student at Jackson State University in 1989 and studied Industrial Technology, specializing in Engineering/Industrial Management. He continued his education at the institute and graduated in 1992 with a Master’s in Industrial Technology/Technician. From 2009 to 2010, Kenny was enrolled at Millsaps College, gaining a Business Advantage Program Certificate in Business Administration and Management.
Kenny’s political career started shining after he ran unopposed to be a Mississippi State Senate for District 21 on November 6, 2007. On November 8, 2011, he ran again for the position and retained the seat while defeating Republican candidate Loren Ross. However, in 2015, Kenny was defeated in the Democratic primaries by Barbara Blackmon, who went on to run unopposed in the year’s general election. From June 2015 to January 2018, he served as the General Manager of Canton Municipal Utilities.
This was followed by Kenny joining Mississippi Quality Concepts in February 2018 as a Business Development Coordinator, a position he seemingly still holds. October 2020 saw him additionally taking up the post of County Administrator for the Hinds County Board of Supervisors. However, Kenny’s job as a Lobbyist for At Home Care made him the star of the Netflix show. As a part of his job, he works alongside critical political figures in Mississippi to help the healthcare company and ensure more help from the lawmakers.
Kenny Jones is Spending Time With Family Today
When not working hard, Kenny enjoys spending time with his family. He is happily married to his wife, Bobbie Ann, and has two children, a daughter named Kennedy and a son named William. While the former has her own soap-making business, her brother is focused on finding a field that suits his interests and would at least help him make about $150,000 a year. For his part, Kenny is glad to spend time with his family, confessing that he feels like he missed some of the most crucial years of his children’s lives due to his work.
Due to his job, Kenny can often be seen in the company of important legislators, and it is common to see him playing golf alongside people of great importance. The former State Senator firmly believes that people should present an image that exudes confidence in themselves to make others trust them. From his clothes to his watch, the Jackson, Mississippi, resident is always diligent in helping those in need and supporting others to prosper through his work.
