This is Ken’s story of his time with Arthur Jones. Ken was greatly rewarded by Arthur, then maligned. How did this happen? What was it about?
Ken worked directly and indirectly with and for Arthur Jones and Nautilus for approximately 10 years. Ken came to regard Arthur as truly a great man and the person most deserving of the title of The Father of Modern Exercise Thought.
Then Ken and Arthur became bitter contestants and called each other liars in print. If so, why does Ken still regard Arthur Jones as a great man and deserving of said title?
The story begins with a chapter about Ken’s genius father and briefly touches on Ken’s childhood when he believes he may have first met Arthur. This is all provided to give context for a journey to work for the man he considered his hero.

Feedback From Readers
"Over the years, I have been fortunate to hear Ken’s fascinating and evocative anecdotes about Arthur Jones. From the amusing to the sublime, each of these memories have brought vivid color to the storied history of Nautilus and to the incredible life of one of the most important figures in exercise. As much as Ken Hutchins has been a mentor to me, Arthur Jones was to him. Big Arthur and Little Me is brutally honest compendium of Ken’s eidetic recollections about not only Arthur Jones and Nautilus, but also of the many side players and characters who were around Jones, making for an always entertaining and educational read.
Ken’s deep respect, admiration, and love of Arthur shine through every page of this book. But so does his his criticism, his condemnation, and his judgment. The book also covers many other important topics that remain grossly misunderstood even among acolytes of Jones. The sections on friction alone are worth the price of the book, not to mention the scrupulous observations and revelations about the history and evolution of spinal exercise. To those who might take umbrage at the penning of such a graphic and unvarnished account of the celebrated creator of Nautilus and MedX, I say check your premises and bring an active mind."
