18 clients.
To fight the loneliness of being
away from his West Bloomfield home,
Kohn often takes his family on his
business trips. "We all have a great
time, and the kids are getting a real
international education," he said.
Kohn and his wife, Marilyn Naiman-
Kohn, an attorney with her own prac-
tice, have two daughters and two sons.
He coaches his children on both
the Akiva girls and boys basketball
teams, working two games and two
practices a week into his schedule.

"Ken is a great asset to Akiva and
an excellent role model for the
kids," said Michael Greenbaum,

known Kohn for 10 years. "He took
over the boys basketball team and

the program." ❑
