With a little over 2000 residents, Pegram, Tennessee is hardly a busy metropolis. However, as Ken Wilshire discovered, its population increases every day when people converge from all around the area to experience a new place to escape and explore their artistic talents.

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.
