The Team

Ken Meccia has helped grow Statewide Abstract founded by his father, Jim Meccia, from its beginnings as a Yonkers-based, three-person startup, to a respected title agency that serves thousands of customers throughout the Tri-State area and across the nation. Ken joined Statewide Abstract right after graduating from college, starting in 1981 as a sales rep covering Westchester County. He learned the business from the ground up, initially training with his brother, Alan who was working as an independent examiner searching for titles in the county record room.

Through the years, Ken has overseen the company’s marketing and sales division, and currently heads up the company’s operations, serving as President. Throughout his career, Ken has also worked as a licensed real estate agent and owner of a real-estate brokerage with offices in Rye and White Plains.

He has served on the boards of the White Plains YMCA, The March of Dimes, and The United Way of Westchester and Putnam, and he is a co-founder of the Breakfast Club Real Estate Networking Group of Westchester. Ken has also helped Statewide Abstract raise nearly $200,000 on behalf of St. Jude’s Cancer Center by spearheading the company’s annual St. Jude Scramble Charity Golf Outing, which takes place each year in June.
