Kenneth Esrig was born in New York in 1955. In 1960, his family relocated to Birmingham, Alabama.

Mr. Esrig has been in Hospital and Health Administration for over twenty-five years. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Healthcare Management from the University of Alabama and Masters Degree in Hospital and Health Administration from the University of Alabama in Birmingham.

As a Hospital Administrator and CEO, he engineered hospital expansions and instituted programs which are still providing the community with quality care. In 1985, Mr. Esrig relocated to Florida to join the National Medical Enterprises hospital chain. In 1990, he formed MIST Inc., to provide consulting services to physicians and health care facilities. MIST Inc., continues today as the backbone of the network of his companies.

Chairing charity dinners for organizations is a routine part of Mr. Esrig’s life. He is dedicated to the education of our youth as demonstrated by his activities on various school boards and his desire to raise capital to build new schools.

When his life seemed to be on track, disaster struck in April 2002, with the sudden death of his wife. With two young daughters and no mother or wife, life became a downward spiral of depression and sadness. Moved by the thoughts of unthinkable pain from losing a daughter, Mr. Esrig wanted to comfort his father-in-law’s suffering and wrote his first poem, My Father’s Day Wish.

While his emotions were raw he touched everyone who read them. Writing at the speed of light, his first collection was completed in only ten days. Mr. Esrig had the rare ability to capture his thoughts at the exact moment he experiences the feelings.
