I’m just getting started with traveling so I’ll let you know what my dream vacation destination is after I visit a couple of spots!

I started Kenny Thomas Enterprises which engages six primary business segments: Healthy Water, Fitness & Lifestyle Apparel, Basketball Education, Community Outreach, Film & Television Production and Real Estate. Future endeavors for the Sacramento market include a charity golf tournament to help benefit disadvantaged youth and local charities. The television and film production entity of KTE is currently in the early production stages of their first film venture with details of a feature film to be announced this summer. KTE has successfully launched Infinity02 – Super Oxygenated Water (www.Infinity02.com) in New Mexico Supermarkets and is expanding in the Sacramento and NorCal region.
