Huszagh was born in Chicago; his paternal immigrant ancestor came from the Austria-Hungary Empire (now Slovakia). He was nicknamed "Ken" as a boy and attended local schools in Chicago. He became active as a competitive swimmer in the Chicago Athletic Club. He attended Northwestern University, where he competed as a swimmer on their Wildcats team.
Huszagh made the 1912 US Olympics team and competed in the 100-meter freestyle, in which he won a bronze medal. He also was a member of United States' 4×200-meter freestyle relay team, which won a silver medal. For a time he held a world record in swimming.
Huszagh was later involved in the founding of the town of Kildeer, Illinois, along with the help of his family. He later became an executive with the American Mineral Spirits Company of New York and rose to president of that company before retiring.[2] He moved to Delray Beach, Florida.
