He was Facilitator for a team of domestic and international students in HOBY's 11-day World Leadership Congress in Washington D.C.

Kevin has volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, where he founded a committee that supported families in transition to Habitat homes, in addition to his being part of several construction crews.

Kevin has volunteered extensively at Landmark Education, as coach in senior level programs, introductory seminar leader to young people and adults, team leader in seminars, and production/course leader support roles.

Kevin says, "My passion is working with others on a challenge that demands each of us to be creative and to stretch, and benefits from our diverse backgrounds and interests"

In his spare time, Kevin enjoys traveling, biking, outdoor activities with friends, music, art and reading.
