KAI J. HAGEN lives with his wife, Kirsten, and two sons, Tor and Leif, on what was his grandparents’ hill farm in the Catoctin Mountains near Thurmont.
The community activist attended college in Minnesota and lived for a time in California, where he managed a number of nonprofit organizations before moving to Frederick County to stay in 1995. For three years, he wrote bi-weekly columns for both the Gazette and the Frederick News Post. He served as a member of the Frederick County Parks and Recreation Commission, was appointed to the Frederick County Citizens Zoning Review Committee, and also Co-chaired the Western Maryland Committee of Reality Check Plus. Comprised of business, civic and elected leaders from western Maryland, Reality Check Plus is a series of exercises designed to establish a 25-year projection for housing and employment requirements and opportunities across the state.
Mr. Hagen was the director of the Frederick Regional Action Network, which effectively "promotes common sense solutions to persistent challenges associated with growth and development." He also directed on-line community development for large corporations and nonprofit organizations.
Mr. Hagen has coached youth soccer and basketball in Frederick County for the last nine years. He is a serious amateur photographer, whose images of Frederick County have been exhibited in various venues in the county.
