Kimberly Ford Chisholm Biography – Kimberly Ford Chisholm Wiki

Kimberly Ford Chisholm is an author and the wife of William Chisholm, the Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Symphony Technology Group (STG), as well as the new owner of the Boston Celtics.

She was Kimberly Vhay Ford when the couple met as undergrads at Dartmouth College in the late 1980s. After graduating from Dartmouth in 1991, Kimberly received a master’s degree in romance languages from the University of Pennsylvania in 1996 and a Ph.D. from the University of California Berkeley in Spanish and French literature in 2001. She also pursued an MFA at the Bennington Writing Seminars.

Kimberly has since worked as a writer, editor, high school teacher, adjunct professor, and lecturer. She also leads occasional writing seminars for Kepler’s Literary Foundation, an offshoot of the celebrated San Francisco bookstore, Kepler’s Books & Magazines.

Kimberly Ford, who has three children with her husband William Chisholm, is also the author — under the name Kimberly Ford — of “Hump: True Tales of Sex After Kids.” In an interview with SFGate after the book’s publication in 2008, Ford Chisholm characterized “Hump” as a sort of manual for marrieds-with-children needing ideas and inspiration to maintain intimacy. The book, she said, was the result of many conversations with friends and others: “A lonely me needed to create adult intimacy in a household subsumed by unpredictable, insatiable, nonverbal people.”

Her short story “Generation” earned critical acclaim as a finalist for an O. Henry Prize. She has written for The Threepenny Review and Literary Mama, among other publications.

William Chisholm’s wife, Kimberly Ford Chisholm, is the great-granddaughter of Gutzon Borglum. Borglum was the American sculptor who spent 14 years (1927-1941) chiseling the likenesses of presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt into a massive granite crag in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
