RL
Kenn, in RL, is a professional freelance programmer specializing in web-based business logic programming (as in, the stuff that makes things work rather than the stuff that makes things pretty). Languages of proficiency (at varying degrees) include PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, C#, MSSQL, ASP.NET, and, of course, LSL. His web-development company is called Aeonvox.
When Kenn is not at his computer (he's usually at his computer), he's skateboarding, causing mayhem with friends, or training the occasional client at the gym (NSCA CPT). Kenn currently lives in New Mexico after stints in Utah, Washington, Idaho, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Massachusetts, Florida, and Southern California. He plans on returning to Southern California as soon as he can afford financially to do so. Kenn studied Economics in college at Boston University and is also a licensed commercial pilot and flight instructor.
SoCal Culture
Kenn Nilsson's first business in Second Life was started shortly after he joined (join date May 24th, 2005). From June 2005 until August 2005 Kenn Nilsson sold prefab homes built for 512 sq. m. plots, furniture, and a very small selection of collared men's shirts under the name SoCal Culture.
At the beginning of September, 2005 Kenn closed down SoCal Culture and began to concentrate on scripting under the business name Nilsson Development Enterprises. He has expressed interest in revitalizing SoCal Culture as a casual-clothing and SL surf shop sometime in the future, but other projects (and a lack of clothes-making skills) have prevented him from doing so thus far.
Nilsson Development Enterprises
Founded in September, 2005, Nilsson Development Enterprises has been Kenn's primary business in Second Life since that time. The company's first products were doors and windows, originally scripted for SoCal Culture as part of the prefab homes sold under that name. While doors remained the most popular selling item at NDE, the company later offered a wide selection of professionally scripted items. Several items (Rental Boxes, Network Vendors, and Timeclocks) had full web-integration capabilities through NDE's website.
Nilsson Development Enterprises was renamed as AeonVox in late May, 2008. All NDE products continue to be supported by Kenn Nilsson, but all new products are released under the AeonVox name. The NDE website was closed permanently on March 1st, 2010.
AeonVox
In late May, 2008, the NDE name was changed to AeonVox, combining the name and business interests of Kenn's web-programming business with his Second Life scripting business. AeonVox in SL has carefully updated and rescripted (from the ground up) every single NDE product, as well as added a variety of new products to its list of available offerings. AeonVox in SL concentrates on serving a limited number of private clients with robust scripting solutions and experienced business consulting. The business also holds a public storefront on RPS Island.
The name AeonVox is a fictitious word, created through the combination of two separate latin words - Aeon (meaning age or era) and Vox (meaning voice or communication). We term AeonVox as meaning "age of communication". It is the goal of AeonVox to get the voice of our clients to their customer base in a clear, concise, and productive way.

BNJ's second product was the RPS (Role-Play System), adopted first by Karamoon in March, 2007 (before the release of MCS2.0). The RPS is an advanced combat and role-play meter system for role-play regions in Second Life.
