Getting personal with … Ken Gibson

By Beth Gibson on March 24, 2017

1. Which living person do you most admire?
   I most admire my parents, Joyce and Harold Gibson, who instilled in me the values of faith, hard work, and service to others. Their marriage serves as a model for Beth and me, and I look back at their example as parents as we raise our twins. My parent’s love and their support of my education enabled me to achieve my goal of becoming a lawyer.
2. What or who is the greatest love of your life?
   My wife, Beth, of course! Beth is a wonderful wife and a caring mother for our young twins. A proud Texan who loves Virginia, Beth is passionate about the causes she cares about and uses her outstanding communications skills to help our law firm better serve our clients. Beth has a great spirit and joy for life and, by the way, did she tell you she’s from Texas?
3. Where would you like to live?
   I enjoy living with my family right here in beautiful Gloucester County, Virginia. Our area is blessed with the physical beauty of our forests, rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay, which we enjoy through boating, fishing, and other outdoor activities. More importantly, my family and I are grateful for the welcoming and wonderful people of our community.
4. Best safety tips for local drivers?
   Keep a safe following distance from the car in front of you, and never text while driving. The majority of our firm’s personal injury clients were injured by other drivers who were following too closely and hit our clients’ cars from behind. Often the at-fault driver was texting or distracted at the time of the collision.
