Dr. Ken James
Dr. Ken James grew up playing basketball and other high school sports in Vancouver, WA. He was recruited by over 50 Universities to play basketball and finally chose BYU for their extensive travel program. They toured South America and played in major tournaments all 4 years of his tenure. Ken earned his first degree in Business Management with a minor in Science from BYU. He played 4 years of basketball at university, culminating in their #2 nationally ranked team winning the NIT, (National Invitational Tournament,) in NY in 1966. Ken met and married his wife Rhondda, at BYU
Ken then moved back to Washington, his home state, to attend 4 years of Dental School at the University of Washington. AAU Basketball and travel were his respite from a taxing study schedule. Rhondda was from Australia so early visits to her home culminated in Ken being invited to be part of the Australian National Basketball program.
Dr. James and Rhondda moved to Australia after graduation from …Dental School to practice dentistry and to compete in the Munich Olympics. After 2 wonderful years of experiences they chose to move back to Seattle with their new little daughter, Brooke.
Dr. James established the James Gang Dental Group in Kent in 1974 where it has grown by serving some of the finest people and families in South King County with the help of a wonderful caring staff and associate dentists.
Brooke grew up to marry George Gosztola who is a treasured partner in the practice. Daughter number three, Chelsea James Hollister, serves as one of our excellent hygienists. Meagan, daughter number 2, keeps everyone supplied with Hollywood gossip as she is a film & TV editor in Los Angeles. Others on the staff are long term, committed individuals who make the "James Gang" the unique group that it is.
