When you travel to Northwest Tennessee you'll find rich river bottom lands that support the mostly agricultural economy. And, like nearby Reelfoot Lake being formed by an earthquake, a well-known local businessman is shaking up the area by reshaping the landscape....Let's let Ken Wilshire explain....

Ken Wilshire joined the Tennessee Crossroads in 2008 with a desire to tell stories about people who have found their passions in life and who would otherwise go unrecognized for their contributions to their community. Ken began his career at WREG-TV in Memphis, writing, producing and editing news stories, features and documentaries. After leaving Channel 3 he joined Fed Ex in their communications department as a writer/producer and was promoted to the department manager. Ken spent almost 25 years in operations management at FedEx and other Fortune 500 companies.
