    story: "What can I say about Ken Kovash? Well there are tons of things that I can say about him. Ken has a way of bringing a smile to my face whenever I read his metrics or see his graphs. It is amazing to me how Ken can make people cry, happy, or even pass out.",

{
    story: "Ken Kovash, he is just like... he is the king of it all. Everything that everyone's doing now, he's already done. He's opened a lot of doors for a lot of metrics enthusiasts today.",

},
{
    story: "It's a pretty awesome experience to watch him calculate. He knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. He's very much in charge. ",

    story: "Some days ago, Ken had someone sent me an enormous basket, full of candles (he does it all the time) with, in the middle of it, two magnificient dogs. It was adorable!",

{
    story: "Ken Kovash, the star, is a phenomenon. The metrics, the numbers, tables and histograms. He is mysterious. Theatrical. The consummate performer. From the way he talks, to the way he just silently watches the numbers on his computer screen, it's as if he's an illusion.",

{
    story: "Ken Kovash is highly intelligent, shrewd, intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and generous to almost a fault of himself. He is honesty personified - painfully honest - and vulnerable to the point of pain.",

    story: "Ken is the reason there is no analytics equivalent to the Academy Awards primetime telecast: the night would become predictable and boring after Ken offers pre-show commentary, hosts the show, and presents and wins all of the awards.",

{
    story: "Ken can be a harsh task-master some times. \"Daniel, where are my numbers from yesterday?\" \"Daniel, why are the funnelcake trends low here and high there? Your data is wrong, go find it and fix it!\" But the pain is worth it when I see him take my crude raw data and masterfully sculpt it into raging rivers of trend lines, triumphant towers of bar charts, overwhelming ontologies of pie graphs, and comely constellations of scatter plots.  One must weep to behold it.",

    story: "When I was in school I was in awe of Ken, I would scour the news for things he would find interesting, baseball, stats stuff, economics so I would have something to talk to him about when I saw him. Since he was always at school, I would always see him and I would have to keep looking at the news to find things to talk to him about.",
