He then worked with his father's trucking business, then joined the Colorado Springs Police Department in 1973. He retired after 23 years in 1996 as a Lieutenant, then started working as a school bus operator. In 1995, a year before his retirement, Kenda's success as a homicide investigator got him an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer for a primetime special on homicide investigations. In 2008, a TV producer remembered Kenda's interview and asked him to be part of a new show in development for the Investigation Discovery Channel.
- For each case profiled on "Homicide Hunter", Kenda recalled the details almost entirely from memory, usually only needing to briefly glance at case files to refresh his memory on very minor details..
- Kenda is noted for his calming baritone voice, describing even very gruesome details of a case in a very matter-of-fact, almost deadpan tone of voice.
